Abstract

Psychological well-being is measured by how people assess their life rather than their contemporary feelings. It is a way an individual assesses his or her life and how he or she feels about where it is going in the future. Researchers have also shown that there is a variance between the psychological well-being of men and women. Mental health includes an individual’s ability to enjoy life and form a balance between life activities & efforts to achieve psychological resilience. If a person has a good mental health, they are more satisfied from their life. The current study aimed at studying the psychological well-being and mental health problems in college teachers and school teachers. Samples of 160 school teachers were taken from Delhi NCR. The study reported that the male school teachers have a better psychological well-being and they have a less mental health problem which indicates that if an individual have a less mental health problems then they have better psychological well-being and are more satisfied with their lives. These findings can be used in Indian context and thus essential steps can be taken to educate the people to make their lives better. They can be made aware of the implications of the mental health problems.
