Abstract
Mental Health of young adolescents is of major concern worldwide, today. It is accounted for burden of various diseases in grown up adults, in later age. Hence, it is not permissible to leave any issue or aspect of adolescent mental health unaddressed or unidentified. This research work is an attempt to access various psychopathologies in early adolescents in the perspective of familial and neighboring environment. Total 240 adolescent students (Mean Age – 15 years 03 months) who reside either in Military Cantonment Area and Urban Civil Area were chosen for this study. They have been accessed on various 12 psychopathologies along with related behavioral and mental problems with the help of Raymond’s Adolescent Psychopathology Scale (APS-SF). To investigator’s surprise, this study concludes that each kind of familial and neighboring environment contributes in the development of different psychopathologies and other problems as psychopathologies such as Conduct Disorder & Academic Problems are observed in higher number of adolescent students from Military Cantonment Area and psychopathologies such as Anger & Violence Proneness, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Major Depression & Interpersonal Problems are observed in higher number of adolescent students from Urban Civil Area.
