Every individual seeks happiness and desires to be happy, but happiness is highly inter-related with both physical and mental health. Mental health affects physical health, but the more the amount of inner violence, disharmony and negative emotions the lower our mental health. Negative psychological states such as distress, depression, and anxiety have been found associated with higher risk of mental illness. Negative thoughts have been found to play a critical role in depression and psychological maladjustment. One’s positive thoughts are found to be positively related to satisfaction with life and happiness. The richer we become in inner-peace, the healthier our mind becomes. This sense of wholeness and adjustment of mind and body, accompanied by a sense of inner harmony, is often reflected in the spiritual and wisdom . It is, therefore, imperative to determine the relationship between inner peace and mental health, because the complex health and well-being challenges that individual faces today are also an urgent issue for the entire society. Thus, the present study is structured to establish the relationship between inner peace and mental health.
