In recent years, humanity has witnessed several significant catastrophic disasters, including pandemics, wars, and earthquakes, in which millions of people required both emotional and mental support. Chatbots have been made use of for the past decade or so to improve delivery of mental health care services. Patients' perceptions and views impact the widespread use of chatbots in healthcare. Several studies have been carried out to evaluate patients' views and experiences on mental health chatbots. Our project focuses on finding a solution to this issue by building a chatbot which provides mental health-based support. The chatbot understands and responds to people's emotions through Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). It offers helpful advice for managing common mental health issues like stress and anxiety. It will also cover the benefits as well as the limitations of using chatbot for therapy as well as some suggestions as to how it can be enhanced in the future.
