Mental Health Scale (MHS): (Bilingual)

The Mental Health Scale is designed to assess mental health across five important dimensions for individuals aged 15-35. It consists of 50 items in a Likert-type rating scale, allowing respondents to express varying degrees of agreement. The scale is available in both Hindi and English and demonstrates high reliability and validity.

Five Dimensions Measured by the Mental Health Scale:

1. Realistic: Assesses the ability to perceive and deal with situations pragmatically, maintaining a grounded view of reality.

2. Joyful Living: Measures the presence of positive emotions, happiness, and an overall sense of well-being.

3. Autonomy: Evaluates independence in decision-making and the ability to function without excessive reliance on others.

4. Emotional Stability: Assesses the ability to manage emotions effectively, maintaining balance during stressful or challenging situations.

5. Social Maturity: Measures adaptability and responsibility in social situations, including effective communication and interpersonal skills.

This scale is useful for identifying aspects of mental health that can be nurtured or supported, contributing to overall psychological well-being.
