Abstract: ABSTRACT: Many people don’t understand mental health problems and may have a native view of people who have them .this can cause people with mental health problem to be treated badly or labeled in a way that hurts their standing in the community. This is sometime called ‘stigma’ and can affect those with mental and emotional problems and their careers and families. Stigmatization of mental illness probably exists everywhere, even though the form and nature of it may differ across cultures. Our observations suggest that poor knowledge of the causes of mental illness, especially is an attribution to supernatural causation, as well as very native views of persons with mental illness. Attitude to mental illness is consequently characterized by intolerance of even basic social contact with people known to have such illness. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: A study to assess the knowledge and attitude towards mental illness among undergraduate students in selected colleges at Meerut. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the knowledge regarding mental illness among the undergraduate students.2. To identify the attitude towards mental illness among undergraduate students. 3. To find out the association between knowledge and attitude score of undergraduate students regarding mental illness with their selected socio-demographic variables. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A descriptive study was conducted among the undergraduate students in a selected college at Meerut. A sample of 60 undergraduate students were selected by using convenient sampling technique and a self-structured questionnaire and a standardized attitude scale was used to collect the data regarding demographic profile and knowledge regarding mental illness. Data was collected by using self-responding method. Data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics (Frequencies, percentage, mean, standard deviation and range) were used for analyzing the data. inferential statistics chi squire test was used to find out the association between the knowledge and attitude towards mental illness among the demographic variables. P value less than 0.05 (P<0.05) was accepted as statistically significant. RESULTS: The researcher found that 20% students have adequate knowledge, 55% students have moderate knowledge, and 25% students have inadequate knowledge regarding mental illness. 28.33% students have favorable attitude, 58.33% students have less favorable attitude, and 13.33% students have unfavorable attitude towards mental illness.
