This study investigates the mental health of adolescents and its relationship to academic achievement. The sample consisted of 1000 9th grade students in Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh, India. Data was collected through self-reported questionnaires on mental health and academic performance. The findings reveal that the majority of students (66.16%) have above-average mental health. There is a significant gender difference, with boys scoring higher than girls in mental health. Locality (rural vs urban) has no significant impact on mental health. Students from joint families report better mental health compared to those from nuclear families. The study highlights the importance of mental health for adolescents, and the potential influence of gender and family structure.
