Web-based Brief Screening Test for Identifying Twenty Common Psychological Disorders

As developing countries are facing psychologist and psychiatrist crises, screening tools can save time in consultancy. Although several screening tools are available, they are so time-consuming and none of them determines most of the common psychological disorders in a single test. To solve the problem and increase the treatment capability of psychologists or psychiatrists, a new psychological screening web application named “MindSee” is proposed in this paper. It can detect 20 common psychological disorders within 10 minutes. It provides doctors with a brief map of the patient’s overall information from food habit to mood swing without asking any questions manually. MindSee uses conditional logic and algorithm to cut-off redundant or repetitive questions according to the responder’s answer choices to keep the duration of test within 10 minutes. With privacy, anyone can monitor one’s progress of mental health from time to time taking MindSee screening test. MindSee is proposed as a psychological screening testing tool to support psychologists and psychiatrists.
