Women are integral part of society, who play multiple roles throughout their lifetime but merely 7% manage to maintain balance, leaving them susceptible to psychological distress.Considering this, aim of the study is to assess depression, anxiety and stress among working and non-working women. The current study included 280 participants, 140 of whom were women who were employed and the remaining 140 were women who were unemployed. The mental health of subjects was evaluated using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-42).The study findings reveal statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between the working and non-working cohort, pertaining depression, anxiety, stress scores. This implies that employed women experienced significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress, in contrast to unemployed women. This indicates that a women’s work status may have an impact on her mental health and wellbeing.
