Abstract Mental health is an extremely serious issue studied and researched by psychologists for decades. But mental health among adolescents has been a growing concern among parents and health organizations worldwide. Stress and anxiety are increasingly prevalent among youngsters as well. Stress is defined as a state of worry or tension in a perceived difficult situation. This independent research paper presents the analysis and the results of the causes and effects of stress and anxiety on adolescents belonging to two different distinct economic classes. The primary purpose was to investigate what and how some factor cause more or less stress/anxiety in the age group of 12- 19 years. It was also to assess whether there were any similarities or differences between what causes stress/anxiety to samples of one economic category versus another economic category.
The supposition is that children from two distinct economic classes will experience different causes of stress and anxiety due to their living, social, intellectual and psychological reasons.

The study was conducted in Gurgaon, a city adjoining New Delhi. The sample size for the ‘Low Income Group’ was 57 numbers and the sample size for the ‘Mid-High Income’ group was 54 numbers. There were 35 questions classified under five different parameters.

The research analysed the results and attempted to delve into the reasons of the results among the samples of the distinct economic groups and identify probable reasons for the same.
