H& Lovibond P.F (1995), was tested on total 120 (60 boys and 60 girls) students of secondary school students of Himachal Pradesh, were randomly selected by giving a fair representation to different schools. To achieve the stated objective of the study the Mean and Standard Deviation (S.D) for score on different variables were calculated for selected sample and further ‘t’ test was used to find out significant difference of secondary school students with respect to Gender (60 male & 60 female students). The findings show that there is no significant difference between Stress, Anxiety and Depression on gender base (male & female) at 0.05 levels. The results highlight the necessity of giving secondary school students' general wellbeing and mental health support top priority. Even though there are only minor variations in particular mental health difficulties, this does not mean that these problems should be ignored. All pupils' wellbeing can be improved by making an environment that is encouraging and nurturing for them.
