During the COVID-19 pandemic, social interactions were significantly reduced, resulting in mental wellness becoming one of the world's key focuses. MentalStop is a one-stop online resource that harnesses the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence to help youths with mental health conditions take charge of their mood, and provides a platform for the general public to gain awareness of mental health conditions. Key features include Diary, which allows users to write down their feelings, which are analysed using AI-powered sentimental analysis, detecting the tone of the sentences and understanding the user's emotions. MentalStop then plots mood scores on an insightful graph, using our linear regression algorithm to detect trends in their feelings over time. Inquire, a questionnaire to allow one to reflect on their emotions, also serves as a simpler and convenient alternative. Finally, the Learn More page contains debunked myths and information on common mental illnesses, helping to fight stereotypes and misconceptions that lead to improper care and treatment. As a testament to MentalStop's significant positive impact on the general community, it won the Distinction Award at the IMDA DigitalForLife Youth Awards in 2022.
