Abstract

In this era of fast-paced life, mental disorders have become a common issue in all stages of life. These mental disorders are usually the result of a person’s lifestyle habits. Stress, mania, depression, anxiety and hypermania are various forms of mental disorders which often lead to physical disorders. However, more preference is given to treat physical disorders than mental disorders. This paper is based on an Android application which aims to predict the mental illness based on lifestyle analysis and psychometric data of people comprising all age groups. A questionnaire was circulated to analyze their mental capabilities, behavior, lifestyle and personality. A dataset was prepared based on the responses to this questionnaire. This paper proposes a methodology on how Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) can be applied to the dataset to analyze and predict the type of mental disorder.
