The current study set out to determine the relationship between the Perceived Parenting Styles, Career Decision Making Difficulties and Mental Health Problems in Young Adults. By using stratified sampling, a sample of 298 students of BS program recruited from both government and private universities of Lahore, Pakistan. In order to collect empirical data, three valid and reliable scales including questionnaires of Perceived Parenting Styles Scales, Career Decision Making Difficulties Scale and Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale were applied.
