Abstract: This crosssectional study was conducted to assess the mental health literacy MHL among first and fourth year medical students at Amaltas Medical College. The study involved 223 students, with 133 from the first year and 90 from the fourth year. The findings revealed that fourth year students had a significantly higher understanding and awareness of mental health issues compared to first year students, who had just transitioned from school. The results also showed that both groups exhibited stigmatizing attitudes toward mental health disorders, though fourth year students demonstrated better perception and acceptance. This study highlights the critical need for targeted mental health awareness programs, especially for early year medical students, to foster better understanding and reduce stigma in the future medical workforce.
