Abstract
Gender difference is a broad area of study which needs much exploration. From biological to physiological, psychological to social front, differences are bound to be, without which humans cease to exist. The significance lies where and to what extent the difference exists on the continuum. Based on supporting reviews this paper attempts to study mental health and social support on individuals among genders. With reviews and data from appropriate tools on a sample of 471 (232 Males and 238 Females) ANOVA revealed the differences among the genders. Significant effects of gender are evident on both the variables with insignificant interaction effects along with age. The implications are discussed on the psychological and social front.
