Mental health is an important part of well-being. Mental health and physical health complement each other and is highly correlated. In India researchers have been studying mental health and its correlates for the last three decades rigorously. The objective of this review is to identify and sort out studies that has been conducted in India concerning mental health of Indian women and its correlates (sociological & economic status, job pressure & marital status). These studies are focused wholly on women of India (working & non-working). This piece of research gave us a direction and identified the gap and work to fill it through researches. Studies especially focused on women’s mental health (working & non-working) have been lacking behind and needs to pick up the pace at par with the other specified researches.
