Abstract

Mental health of 150 adolescent girls (11–18 years) from Udaipur was assessed and found to be poor. Component-wise analysis revealed poor scores in positive self-evaluation, perception of reality, integration of personality, group oriented attitudes and environmental mastery. In autonomy component, however, it was found to be average.
