The emotional and mental health of a student
is one of the most important aspects when it comes to a
student’s success. In modern times, we find that many
students go through stress and depression due to many
reasons; some of them being, not able to cope up with the
hectic lifestyle of their education curriculum or having
family responsibilities at an early stage of their life. In
India, there seems to be a problem of people not giving
equal attention to mental health as much as they give it
to physical health, leading to which mental health is
largely neglected. The need to educate people especially
students is the need of the hour and there seems to be a
shortage of mental health experts or professionals’
expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Our paper
focuses on proposing a web application, which has an
integrated virtual assistant expertise in Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy. Through our application, we aim to
not only educate people on Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy but also bridge the gap between students and
mental health experts.
