Abstract If not addressed with long-term mitigation practices, the high incidence of isolation is closely correlated with the likelihood of developing mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and even vulnerability to suicidal ideation. According to research, individuals who live away from their ancestral homelands are at a higher risk of depression and mental health problems. One of the main populations of expatriates living in the UAE is projected to be the Indian population. It has been proposed that expatriates, despite appearing to live a happy life, often face a variety of negative circumstances such as isolation, workplace distress, and worries about occupational security, all of which contribute to a rise in the prevalence of mental illnesses such as depression, stress, and anxiety. As a result, the following study sought to determine the prevalence of isolation, mental wellbeing, and the risk of mental health problems among Indians working in Sharjah, UAE. A quantitative cross-sectional design was used, along with data collection on demographics, mental wellbeing, and social functioning, using self-reported questions l i k e the General Health Functioning-28 and the Social Functioning Questionnaire. Based on these results, the study was evenly distributed in terms of their risk of mental health illnesses and a high degree of social functioning, likely due to the inclusion of both single and non-single participants. Furthermore, demographic factors such as age, schooling, and occupational levels may be responsible for the equitable distribution of such risk and high levels of social functioning. Further research into the role of specific demographic factors in influencing mental health status and social functioning among Indian expatriates in the UAE is therefore needed.
