Mental health literacy, the understanding and viewpoints about mental health conditions which help in their identification, is low in developing countries. A great social disapproval of mental health disorders exists in India even though a large population suffers from them. A cross sectional survey was conducted to assess the knowledge, perception and attitude of general population residing in NCR region of INDIA. A total of 505 people participated in the study. The respondents were administered a prevalidated, self-administered questionnaire in an online mode using Google forms, which contained 14 questions related to knowledge, 7 questions pertaining to perception and 6 questions under attitude section. In the knowledge section, correct options achieve +1 mark. Total marks obtainable were 14. Perception and attitude questions were answered using 5-Point Likert scale.
