The present study investigated the psychological distress among undergraduates. It was hypothesized that there is likely to be gender differences in depression, stress and anxiety among undergraduate students. Depression, stress and anxiety are likely to differ in undergraduate students. Depression, Anxiety Stress Scale DASS (Clark and Watson, 1991) was used in this study. Between subject design the convenient sample of 200 student including 90 men and 110 women students with the age range of 18-27 years (M= 20.37, SD= 1.64) was taken from private universities of Lahore: Forman Christian College, University of Central Punjab, Fatima Memorial Hospital, Government College University. The result of t-test revealed that that there was non- significant gender difference in depression, stress and anxiety. Furthermore repeated measure ANOVA revealed that there was significant difference between depression, stress and anxiety among students was found. The importance of this study lies in hypothesizing that there is a non-significant result between both genders because of similar treatment and condition in the society.
