Brief Summary: Globally, mental health problems account for 13% of the total burden of disease, For most mental health disorders their first onset occurs in childhood or adolescence. Approximately half of those with mental health disorders first experience the corresponding symptoms at approximate age 14. These early onsets of mental disorders have been accounted for a variety of adverse consequences, such as disruption of education and early career development of affected individuals.

Psychological distress is defined as a state of emotional suffering characterized by the undifferentiated combinations of symptoms of depression (eg, lost interest; sadness; hopelessness) and anxiety (eg, restlessness; feeling tense) which are sometimes accompanied by somatic symptoms (eg, insomnia; headaches; lack of energy). Psychological distress among adolescent students is common in developed as well as in developing countries, and is a major public health challenge.

This can be associated with undesirable mental health that affects their level of functionality and for many it impacts on educational achievement as well as the total health of adolescents, thereby having a substantial effect on opportunities in adult life.

While psychological distress among school adolescent has been well researched in developed countries, very few studies are available in the south Indian region particularly in Tamilnadu .There is no published study that reflects the current status of psychological distress among secondary school students in Tamilnadu. Therefore, this study is aimed to determine the prevalence of psychological distress and identify the associated factors of psychological distress among school students.
