This research purely spotlight on the notion of mental health and psychological wellbeing among the school going adolescents. The concept of being healthy is not only the proper functioning of the body rather it means the body and mind working together efficiently and smoothly. Mental health is a factor that contributes to the maintenance of physical health as well as social effectiveness with integrated personality. The aim of the present study is to explore the mental health among school going adolescents. Data of 483 adolescents ranging in the age of 14 to 18 years (216 males & 267 females) was collected from the Government model senior secondary schools, Chandigarh. Subjects filled the mental health inventory developed by Jagdish and Srivastava (1983). All the dimensions of mental health (positive self evaluation, perception of reality, integration of personality, autonomy, group oriented attitude, environmental mastery) were taken into consideration and descriptive statistics was calculated gender wise with the help of SPSS version 25. Results revealed that adolescents were low on positive self evaluation, perception of reality, group oriented attitude, environmental mastery, integration of personality and overall mental health. Both the genders showed similar mental health and minor differences were revealed.
