Abstract This paper has looked into the correlation between psychosocial adaptation and depression, anxiety, and stress in ex-servicemen. A purposive sample containing 250 retired adult men aged 50-80 years who served as the military was the sample design used and had a correlational research design of a quantitative character. The participants answered the Military to Civilian Questionnaire (M2C-Q) assessing psychosocial adjustment and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS- 21) assessing the levels of depression, anxiety and stress. The descriptive statistics suggested moderate adjustment to psychosocial factors and very broad variation of emotional distress. The analysis of Pearson correlation demonstrated a high and statistically significant positive correlation of psychosocial adjustment with the overall depression, anxiety and stress. Out of the three measurements, stress was the most significantly correlated with psychosocial adjustment, then depression, and anxiety. The results denote that an increased rate of psychological distress, especially stress is linked with increased development of psychosocial adjustment complications amongst ex-servicemen. The paper points to the importance of prevention at an early stage and specific interventions focusing on stress management, social support, and reintegration programmes to enhance the mental wellbeing of retired military personnel and their bias to civilian life.
