Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity that can hurt a person's thoughts, behavior and feelings. Poverty, low social status, lack of education, and domestic violence are issues that tend to be more common among women. Pertinent studies in Eastern Indian Bengali women are unavailable with special reference. The present study was therefore conducted to evaluate the mental depression in sedentary Bengali women of the urban region of West Bengal, India. Sedentary women of 20 to 35 years of age were selected from different regions of West Bengal, India. The Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL-10) was used. 40% of women could not pass the school final. 20% of women passed the school final and 10% of women completed their master's degree. Low income, poverty, and education are the main important factors of Bengali women's mental depression. It seems to be not only a method for mental health assessment study but also a good method that can offer health promotion and a consequential medical professional for improving mental health among women.
