Abstract This study investigates the impact of therapy on psychological distress and adjustment levels among postgraduate students in Bangalore, India. A sample of 150 participants from various disciplines and universities in Bangalore was divided into therapy and non-therapy groups. Non-parametric tests, including Spearman Rho Correlation Coefficient and Mann-Whitney U Test, were utilized due to non-normal distribution of data. The study found a significant difference in psychological distress and adjustment levels between the therapy and non-therapy groups. Contrary to the hypothesis, therapy did not have a positive impact on adjustment levels. Demographic variables such as age, gender, and employment status were significantly associated with psychological distress, while only gender showed a significant association with adjustment levels. Participants' reported therapy details revealed varying outcomes, with some experiencing favourable effectiveness while others reported no improvement. These findings suggest the need for further investigation into therapy modalities and psychoeducation within therapy settings to enhance adjustment and reduce psychological distress among postgraduate students.
