The impact workplace wellbeing has on mental health is being increasingly recognized. A medical teacher spends at least a third of their life and half of their waking hours at work hence it is important to recognize their satisfaction at work, and to identify factors which help them to be happy. The study was done with the aim to investigate the correlation between psychiatric illness and work place satisfaction. Medical teachers with an experience of more than 6 months in the teaching were included, and were administered workplace wellbeing questionnaire and DASS 21scale. The analysis showed significant association with respect to depression, anxiety and stress in relation with work environment and work load. It was concluded that the severity of depression, anxiety and stress was significantly associated with burden of teaching and was also affected by the work environment.
