| Summary: | In this really hectic and complex world, quite a number of people are exposed to situations where mental stress is unavoidable. This leads to people having all kinds of mental health problems that eventually may turn to chronic mental disorders. People with mental health problems normally have the tendency of not admitting their health problems because of the stigma attached to these kinds of illnesses. Most of them are in denial state. This situation may cause very serious social problems since people with mental problems will develop some kind of mental disorders, and as a result, they might be harmful to others around them, especially to their family members. People with mental health problems must receive proper treatments and medications so that their conditions get better. If their mental status can be assessed and examined easily, then most probably their mental problems can be detected at a very early stage, and can be easily controlled and cured. The above scenarios become the motivation for conducting this research. This research paper presents some findings on mental health and disorders on past research work's results and also proposes an online mental status examination (MSE) system that examines individuals' mental health status. The result of the MSE system is used in determining whether the respective person needs to undergo a more detailed diagnosis for more specific mental disorders. If the patient's mental status is not normal, then a complete diagnosis of the patient's mental health is done using the Mental Health Diagnostic System, which uses a rule base for deriving a conclusion. An improvement is made to a previous paper by integrating the two systems into one complete system that is useful in determining the mental status and the severity level of a person's mental disorder(s) in one shot. In addition, a complete report of the patient's mental health condition is provided. It is hoped that the outcomes of this research study are able to assist new psychotherapists and psychiatrists in examining and diagnosing those who are affected by some kind of mental disorders in a more efficient manner. Direct results of this research will improve the diagnosis process and treatment for those with mental disorders. |
