Digital Mental Health Support System: Arogya

Mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress are increasingly common among rural students.However, social stigma and limited access to professional help often discourage them from seeking support.This paper presents Arogya, a digital solution designed to provide confidential, accessible, and continuous mental health support through an AI-enabled mobile application.The proposed system integrates screening tools such as PHQ-9, GAD-7, and GHQ-12 to evaluate mental health conditions and leverages a Smart Moderator for seamless connectivity between students and mental health professionals.The platform ensures anonymity, 24/7 availability, and flexibility, thereby bridging the gap between urban and rural mental health support systems.
