The current study was conducted to (i) examine the relationship between higher secondary students' personalities and mental health and (ii) look into any gender disparities in these students' personality and mental health scores. From four higher secondary schools in the West Bengali district of Nadia District, 252 pupils were chosen at random. To gather the necessary data, the Five-factor Personality Trait Scale (FPTS) created by Sarkar & Halder (2014) and the Mental Health Inventory created by Jagadish and Srivastava (2011) were both adopted and used in this study. According to the study, higher secondary students' personalities and mental health are positively correlated. The results of the analyses by gender are also consistent. Gender differences in personality were not seen, however there were notable differences between boys and girls' mental health scores.
