Healthy youth development depends on good mental health, which also paves the way for better mental health and well-being in later years. The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between stress, anxiety, depression, and loneliness in young adults and their impact on psychological well-being. A sample of 200 young adults between the ages of 17 and 25 was recruited from a university setting. Participants completed self-reported measures of stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, and psychological well-being, including DASS-21 by Lovibond & Lovibond (1995 ), UCLA loneliness by Russell, Peplau, & Ferguson (1978), and the Psychological Well-Being Scale by Ryff (2007). Results indicated that higher levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and loneliness were significantly associated with lower levels of psychological well-being. These findings highlight the importance of addressing mental health concerns in young adults, as they can have a significant impact on overall well-being. The results of this study have implications for the interventions and support programs for young adults to promote positive mental health and well-being.
