This study aimed to examine the relationship between psychological capital and emotional intelligence among neurotic patients. This study was based on a correlational design and a quantitative approach was used to collect the data using a questionnaire method. The sample size of this study consisted of neurotic patients from different psychological clinics and hospitals in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The sample included both genders and people with diverse backgrounds were included to have more reliable results. All the ethical considerations were strictly followed throughout the study. The gathered data was analysed statistically and the results of the analysis showed that there was a significant positive association between psychological capital and emotional intelligence among patients with neurosis. The results also showed that married people showed higher levels of PsyCap than single or divorced people. Comparably, individuals with shared family structures had higher levels in PsyCap, underscoring the significance of family support for mental health outcomes.
