AI-Powered Mental Health Conversational Agent with Music Integration

Mental health challenges such as stress, anxiety, and depression are increasing globally, yet access to personalized psychological support remains limited. Traditional therapy can be costly, time-consuming, and inaccessible to many, especially in remote areas. This paper presents an AI-powered mental health conversational agent integrated with music-based emotional regulation, designed to provide continuous, personalized mental wellness support. The system combines Natural Language Processing (NLP) for conversation, emotion detection, and adaptive music generation to assist users in self-regulation, mood enhancement, and guided Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) practices. It bridges the gap between mental wellness and technology through empathetic, safe, and AI-driven assistance.
