Mental Health Therapist Chatbot Using NLP

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used in mental health care to create chatbots that act as therapists. The chatbots, using natural language processing (NLP), communicate with users to provide therapeutic support. This abstract discusses the development of chatbots serving as agents for individuals seeking mental health assistance. They offer convenient and confidential ways for people to talk about and ease issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress. The chatbot does not only inform users about mental health choices but also help decrease stigma and encourage a proactive approach to mental wellness. The innovative AI- driven therapist chatbot aims to tackle the intricate issues of depression, anxiety, and stress. By employing advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, the proposed system aims to offer personalized and empathetic virtual support for individuals managing mental health challenges. It also utilizes sentiment analysis to interpret the emotional tone or sentiment conveyed in user inputs, usually in text form. Sentiment analysis, also referred to as opinion mining, determines whether a text expresses positive, negative, or neutral sentiment. The chatbots powered by AI and NLP play a crucial role in providing mental health support and breaking down barriers to seeking help. Their ability to analyze sentiments contributes to a better understanding of users' emotional needs and enables more effective communication in therapy sessions.
