Abstract

Mental health issues among students in higher education are increasing due to academic pressure, social challenges, and career uncertainty. This study proposes a Digital Mental Health and Psychological Support System that integrates Machine Learning (ML), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and AI-based chatbot technology to provide self-assessment, mood tracking, and counselor referral services. The system ensures confidentiality, accessibility, and early intervention for psychological conditions. The transition to higher education represents a critical developmental stage for students, often accompanied by a unique set of well-being. The increasing coupled with the limitations of traditional on-campus support services, necessitates the development of innovative and accessible solutions. This project outlines the conceptualization, design, comprehensive specifically tailored to the needs of students in The proposed system is a multifaceted digital platform immediate, confidential, and personalized mental health resources.
