Context
These days, matters pertaining to mental health are receiving widespread attention. As a result, it's crucial to acknowledge and embrace them with a positive outlook and little assistance to avoid negative consequences on one's lifestyle, such as mood, thinking, and
conduct.
Problem Statement
Certain mental health concerns can be recurring, and I should be able to deal with them constructively.
Objectives & Goals
-
A useful technique for easing particular strains of unpleasant sentiments.
-
Coherent user interaction using clever methods to promote mental and emotional
health.
View
It is true that many people struggle to keep their mental health under check, which might
cause numerous emotional peaks. One acknowledges it, but what lies ahead? Because it is not
always efficient to seek accurate help at the exact moment of an outburst, which is why I
decided to develop an application that touches these feelings for solace and improvement.
Quantitative Research
We spoke in person with three users who fit our target demographic.
Findings
40%
40% of users wind up spiraling out of control rather than finding stability in emotions like anger.
60%
60% of users have trouble falling asleep, which results in insomnia, which is also exacerbated worse by stress, anxiety, and overthinking.
55%
Due to unknown causes, 55% of users experience morning sadness and spend the rest of the day in desolation.
80%
80% of users prefer to communicate and express their emotions when they are feeling a certain way.
85%
Insufficient access and free time restrict 85% of users from attending regularly scheduled professional appointments.
User Needs
Users should be able to escape outbursts with help of a few aiding activities.
Many times, users try googling solutions to know how to cope with a particular situation.
Users need guided healing approaches in a resourceful manner.
Should be able to connect with people who share a similar journey of mental health.
Users should be able to contact a professional to seek any immediate assistance.

It is simple and straightforward to use this software. I've kept it enlightening and approachable
while taking into account the wide range of human mental, emotional, and behavioral characteristics.
