Abstract:
Objectives: This study was conducted to assess the level of mental health difference between working and non-working women, to explore their stigma and attitude toward seeking psychological help for mental-health problems. Methods: World Health Organization’s Self-reporting questionnaire (SRQ-20), adoption of Discrimination–Devaluation scale (D–D) scale for measuring self-stigma and attitude toward Seeking Mental Health Services (IASMHS) Inventory were used. Results: The sampled teachers reported a higher attitude towards seeking mental health services when compared to housewives. Social support and personal stigma were the main factors that significantly predict total IASMHS. Conclusions: Although working females are more susceptible to mental health disorders, yet less stigmatized towards mental health problems and a better attitude for seeking mental health services than housewives.
