The study was conducted to explore the extent of mental health awareness and stigma associated with it. For this purpose, a sample of 200 college students in the age range from 19-23 years was taken. The sample was further divided on the basis of area differences viz. rural and urban. Data was collected using mental health literacy scale (O’Connor& Casey, 2015)and attitude scale for mental illness scale (Ng & Chan, 2002). Results revealed that there is a negative correlation between mental health awareness and stigma associated with mental illness. It was also revealed that there exist significant area differences in this regard. Urban population scored higher on mental health literacy and lower on stigma associated with mental illness as compared to their rural counterparts. Additionally, it was also found that significant gender differences exist on both of these variables. Girls scoring higher on mental health awareness while boys scoring higher on stigma related to mental health
