Abstract Women have left their mark in nearly every aspect of life in the 21st century. In their pursuit of progress and success, they face various challenges in both their personal and professional lives, along with their responsibilities. Employed women must seek a way to balance work and personal commitments. They often encounter role conflicts, as they strive to fulfil the demands of both their home and work lives simultaneously. This struggle can lead to feelings of inadequacy and overwhelm as they attempt to satisfy the needs of their family and their job. Generally, women—and working women in particular—experience stress, anxiety, and, ultimately, depression, as they continuously seek improvement. Conversely, women who manage to achieve a balance between their work and personal lives generally report feeling fulfilled and content. In this context, the present study is undertaken with the aim to explore the level of stress, anxiety, depression, and well-being in working and nonworking women and make a comparison between the two. The study is conducted on a randomly selected sample of 400 women, of which 200 are working and the remaining 200 are nonworking, from the Siwan and Gopalganj districts, Bihar. The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales developed by Lovibond & Lovibond (1995) are administered to fetch data regarding depression, anxiety, and stress, while the Well-Being Scale by Friedman (1992) is used to collect information regarding levels of well-being.
