Abstract
As we know that individuals around the globe work difficult to keep up with this
hustling world. In any case, due to this each person is managing with diverse wellbeing issues,
one of the foremost known issue is sadness or stretch which may in the long run lead to passing
or other brutal exercises. This project focuses on leveraging machine learning algorithms to
predict psychological instability based on various attributes related to mental health. Developed
as a web application using Django, users can upload datasets containing information such as age,
gender, family history, and workplace environment. The data undergoes preprocessing, including
handling missing values and label encoding. Subsequently, several classifiers including Decision
Tree, Random Forest, SVC, MLP Classifier, KNeighbors Classifier, and Linear Discriminant
Analysis are trained on the preprocessed data. Evaluation metrics such as accuracy, precision,
recall, and F1-score are computed for each classifier. Users can also input personal data to obtain
predictions about their psychological well-being. The system aims to offer insights into mental
health conditions, enabling early detection and intervention. This project underscores the
potential of machine learning in addressing mental health challenges through data-driven
approaches.
