Project 2: Enhanced Mental Health Diagnostics

Mental Health is a crucial component of well-being of an individual, yet many people avoid seeking help even when there is a high necessity. The reasons behind avoiding help can be due to the stigma, privacy concerns and many more reasons. Our proposed approach "Enhanced Mental Health Diagnostics" allows an individual to self-assess their mental health state in a private setting using VR, this will remove the barrier of privacy concerns and social stigmas. This is a Unity 3D based application, which guides the users to explore the virtual environment. Then the individuals take the PHQ-9 questionnaire to assess their mental state. The PHQ-9 evaluation is used for screening, diagnosing, monitoring and measuring the severity of depression. The benefited individual for this application will be any individual who desires to understand the state of their mental health, the evaluation can be taken by any age group. Based on the PHQ-9 criteria, the individual has to be of age 18 or older.
