Factors affecting human health are divided into two groups: 1) environmental factors; 2) factors determined by the typological characteristics of the person. The influence of external factors occurs indirectly - through the psyche. Special attention is paid to personal constructs and motivational factors. In the article, human health is related to functional states of the body and personal relationships. Negative mental states are indicators of maladjustment in the "person - professional environment" system. Mood is considered as a stable component of the mental state, which ensures the relationship between the structure of the person and the physical and mental tone of the person. The role of self-reported health is indicated.
