This paper presents the development of an AI-based mental health chatbot designed to assist users in evaluating their emotional and psychological well-being. The chatbot engages users with a series of structured questions, analyzing their responses to provide personalized feedback and mental health predictions. The tool is designed to be user-friendly and accessible, offering a private, supportive environment for self-assessment. By fostering early awareness and reflection, the chatbot empowers individuals to take proactive steps toward improving their mental health. This AI-driven solution has the potential to serve as a pre-assessment tool for mental health professionals and to provide scalable, immediate support to users. The project demonstrates how artificial intelligence can enhance mental health interventions, contributing to early detection and promoting access to professional care. The Chatbot is available 24/7, free of cost, and can facilitate more open communication between users and healthcare providers. It can also provide mental health counseling and support for individuals struggling with stress, anxiety, or depression. One of the key advantages of the Healthcare Chatbot is its accessibility.
