Mental health has been a greatly discussed issue that must be paid attention on these days. Some of the people with mental health doubts or problems tend to neglect the need of getting professional help or talk to someone about their situation due to several reasons: fear of getting judged, financial issues or lack of time. With the advancement of technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been incorporated in many fields such as finance, transportation, healthcare and many more. This research aims to investigate the use of chatbots for mental health in present society, to create a chatbot for mental health that can interact with users, and to assess the efficacy of utilizing chatbots for mental health. In this study, a mental health chatbot model will be built using Transformer Model, a deep learning model which is an alternative and improvement to Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and the interface will be built using Gradio. This chatbot model aimed to help people with questions or problems regarding mental health at a basic level.
