With growing awareness and destigmatization of mental health issues, there's an increasing recognition of the prevalence and impact of conditions like PTSD, psychopathy, and depression among adults. Understanding these conditions helps to address misconceptions and promote mental health literacy. Studying these factors helps to understand their impact and develop effective coping strategies and support systems. Gender disparities do not exist in isolation but intersect with other social determinants of health, such as age, socioeconomic status, education, and access to healthcare. For this purpose, sample of 381 adults between the ages of 18 and 45 was taken from different geographical region of Pakistan who experienced any kind of traumatic situation through snowball sampling. Pearson Product Correlation analysis was use to find correlation of demographics variables with study variables. Socioeconomic status differences were found out by independent t-test. Results of the study revealed that depression mediates the relationship between PTSD and psychopathy. Findings from this research can inform evidence-based policy recommendations aimed at reducing gender disparities in mental health outcomes and improving access to culturally appropriate mental health services in Pakistan. By amplifying the voices of marginalized groups and advocating for gender-sensitive policies, researchers can contribute to broader social change and promote mental health equity.
