Abstract - The project focuses on building a mental health tracker. Also focuses on how the mood of the user will get stabilize. You will try to get an idea of the mental state of your user find out if they are suffering and then suggest measures they can take to get out of their present condition. A user answers some questions also he/she can perform some activities and maintain a record of their mental state by the help of graph which will be displaying on graph page. Mental disorders are widespread in countries all over the world. Leaving people with mental disorders untreated mayincrease suicide attempts and mortality. To address this matter of limited resources, conversational agents have gained momentum in the last years. In this work, we introduce a mobile application with integration of some activities like breathing activity also some wallpaper including some motivational quotes, jokes activity and many more to support mentally ill people in regulating emotions and dealing with thoughts and feelings.

Also an integration of mindfulness exercise is suggested by an application. Our paper aims to propose a systemdesign,which is based on the android app “Mood Stabilizer”. But our main aim is to stabilize the mood of the user. So we are not judging the user like you have this disease or you are suffering from this our only aim is that to stabilize the mood of the user.

Key Words: Depression, Android Application, Prediction, Mental Health, Mood Stabilizer.
