Mental health is wellness that is more than the absence of mental disorders. In the present time, B.Ed. trainee teachers face various mental problems due to academic pressure, social expectations, family responsibilities, and future uncertainty. This study aims to explore many important facts about the mental health of B.Ed. trainee teachers. The researcher used a descriptive survey method for this study.
