Mental health issues become notable and alarming in Malaysia in which the number of people suffering from these illnesses rapidly increase. Despite this, epidemiologic research has established that social connectedness has potential indicator that can helps to prevent from the mental health problems. However, a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between social connectedness and mental health is currently lacking. The current study aimed to examine the association between social connectedness and mental health among adolescents in Kelantan. Data was collected from 177 (female=129, male=51) participants using a convenience sampling method. The result shows that there is a weak negative significant relationship between social connectedness and mental health with a value (r = -.35, p < 0.001). The results also shows that there is a significant difference between gender and mental health (t= -3.33, df= 126.71, p < .005). Male adolescent has a mean value (M = 19.25, SD = 11.98), lower than female adolescent (M = 26.70, SD = 16.53). The findings underline the importance of social connectedness and mental health that can contribute to the body of knowledge in the field of psychology
