It was aimed to investigate the relationship between psychological health indicators and levels of self-actualization in students. In the study, the self-assessment method used in the diagnosis of  psychological  states  according  to Ayzenk  and  S.  Sostrom’s  SAT  method  were  used  to examine  the  indicators  of  psychological  health.  The  study  included  170  undergraduate students. As a result of the research, it was determined that there is a negative correlation between the psychological health indicators of the students and the level of self-actualization. Moreover, there was a bidirectional relationship between psychological health (frustration) and  self-actualization.  In  other  words,  the  relationship  between  various  indicators  of psychological health and self-actualization is bidirectional. According to this result, as the level of self-actualization increases, the level of psychological health indicators (frustration) decreases.  Clearly,  there  is  a  negative  relationship  between  the  adequate  level  of  self-actualization and indicators of psychological health. The research has shown that the higher the  level  of  self-actualization  in  students,  the  lower  the  level  of  psychological  health indicators,  leading  to  problems  such  as  stress  and  various  conflicts,  stress,  emotional exhaustion and self-criticism. These results emphasize the importance of support mechanisms to improve students’ psychological health.
