abstract="Many authors, e.g. V. Frankl, A. Kepiński, M. Opoczyńska, have been deeply interested in the nature of psychic suffering and suffering of the mentally disordered in particular. This paper is an attempt to refer to some opinions of these authors. It describes a threat of feeling of emptiness, a label of insanity, reduction and isolation. Consequences of regression, dissociation and somatisation are also shown. A particular problem of the mentally disturbed is a violation of their spiritual base and religious domain. In addition, there is a problem of a role of the ill person and a patient's role. Three possibilities of solution for psychic suffering are discussed: 1. Acceptance of the suffering and finding sense in it or finding sense in being ill and cured; 2. Rejection of the suffering and an endeavour to recover (paradoxically a very difficult approach); 3. Rejection of the sense of suffering and any possibility of recovery, i.e. suicidal death.<p /><p>Language: pl</p>",
