Abstract
Introduction: Mental health is a state of physiological maturity – a relatively constant and enduring function of personality. According to the World Health Organization, mental health includes subjective well-being, perceived self-efficacy, autonomy, competence, inter-generational dependence, and self-actualization of one’s intellectual and emotional potential, among others. Aim: The aim of the study is to assess the mental health status of dental students of Saveetha University. Materials and Methods: A survey based on mental health questionnaire by Augustes was used to evaluate the mental health of individuals. A total of 50 individuals studying I BDS were selected. They were made to sit comfortably and were given the questionnaire to fill. Once done, the results were collected and tabulated. Results: The scores were calculated as per the options, and the scores were tabulated as below 40 indicating depressive state, 40–80 indicating normal mental state, and above 80 denoting hyperactive mental state. About 25 individuals fall under the score 40–80 and the average was calculated to be 60.2, 12 individuals fall under the score 0–40 with an average of 30.25, and 13 individuals under the score 81–120 with an average of 97.76. Conclusion: This study concludes that individuals differ in their mental health values. Hence, suitable corrective measures should be undertaken to address this.
