Mental illness is an important determinant of quality of life of individuals. There are different factors associated with mental illness that can potentially be a reason for lower quality of life among people with mental illness.

So the aim of this study is to assess level of quality of life and its determinants among people with mental illness at Psychiatric outpatient clinic at Dilla University Referral Hospital (DURH), South Ethiopia from June 1-October 30/ 2017.
