Abstract
The prevalence and severity of mental health problems in college and university communities are alarming. How-ever, the majority of students with mental disorders do not seek help from professionals.To help students assess their mental conditions and encourage them to take an active role in seeking care, we developed a web-based self-screening, referral, and secure communication application. The proposed system will do the self screening of the student by asking them question in the area of anxiety, depression, attention deficit disorder, alcohol use, eating disorder. If system found any student with mental disorder then that student will be refer to doctor for further checkup.
