Mental health shows a paramount importance to the overall well-being of an individual and significantly affected by the mindset, anxiety, and psychological well-being. This study aims to determine the relationship among mindset, anxiety, and psychological well-being of senior high school students atSaint Mary’s University. The descriptive, comparative, and correlational research designs and thematic analysis were utilized in analyzing the quantitative and qualitative data gathered from the 508 senior high school students. Findings reveal that students predominantly have growth mindset with some fixed ideas and experienced moderate levels of anxiety but they have high psychological well-being. Moreover, it is found that there is a significant difference in the type of mindset based on academic standing (p=.005), the level of anxiety based on sex (p=.001) and strands (p=.007), and the level of psychological well-being based on socioeconomic status (p=.026). Furthermore, results shows that there is a significant relationship between mindset and psychological well-being (r=.366, p=.000). However, it is found that there is no significant relationship between mindset and anxiety and anxiety and psychological well-being. Further research is needed to understand the complex relationship between mindset, anxiety, and psychological well-being, as well as to develop effective interventions to support students' mental health.Mental health has become a controversial topic worldwide.
