A dataset containing basic conversations, mental health FAQ, classical therapy conversations, and general advice provided to people suffering from anxiety and depression.

This dataset can be used to train a model for a chatbot that can behave like a therapist in order to provide emotional support to people with anxiety & depression.

The dataset contains intents. An “intent” is the intention behind a user's message. For instance, If I were to say “I am sad” to the chatbot, the intent, in this case, would be “sad”. Depending upon the intent, there is a set of Patterns and Responses appropriate for the intent. Patterns are some examples of a user’s message which aligns with the intent while Responses are the replies that the chatbot provides in accordance with the intent. Various intents are defined and their patterns and responses are used as the model’s training data to identify a particular intent.

Mental Health in Tech Survey

Understanding Employee Mental Health Needs in the Tech Industry

By Stephen Myers [source]

About this dataset

This dataset contains survey responses from individuals in the tech industry about their mental health, including questions about treatment, workplace resources, and attitudes towards discussing mental health in the workplace. Mental health is an issue that affects all people of all ages, genders and walks of life. The prevalence of these issues within the tech industry–one that places hard demands on those who work in it–is no exception. By analyzing this dataset, we can better understand how prevalent mental health issues are among those who work in the tech sector.–and what kinds of resources they rely upon to find help–so that more can be done to create a healthier working environment for all.

This dataset tracks key measures such as age, gender and country to determine overall prevalence, along with responses surrounding employee access to care options; whether mental health or physical illness are being taken as seriously by employers; whether or not anonymity is protected with regards to seeking help; and how coworkers may perceive those struggling with mental illness issues such as depression or anxiety. With an ever-evolving landscape due to new technology advancing faster than ever before – these statistics have never been more important for us to analyze if we hope remain true promoters of a healthy world inside and outside our office walls

How to use the dataset

In this dataset you will find data on age, gender, country, and state of survey respondents in addition to numerous questions that assess an individual's mental state including: self-employment status, family history of mental illness, treatment status and access or lack thereof; how their mental health condition affects their work; number of employees at the company they work for; remote work status; tech company status; benefit information from employers such as mental health benefits and wellness program availability; anonymity protection if seeking treatment resources for substance abuse or mental health issues ; ease (or difficulty) for medical leave for a mental health condition ; whether discussing physical or medical matters with employers have negative consequences. You will also find comments from survey participants.

To use this dataset effectively: - Clean the data by removing invalid responses/duplicates/missing values - you can do this with basic Pandas commands like .dropna() , .drop_duplicates(), .replace(). - Utilize descriptive statistics such as mean and median to draw general conclusions about patterns of responses - you can do this with Pandas tools such as .groupby() and .describe(). - Run various types analyses such as mean comparisons on different kinds of variables(age vs gender), correlations between different features etc using appropriate statistical methods - use commands like Statsmodels' OLS models (.smf) , calculate z-scores , run hypothesis tests etc depending on what analysis is needed. Make sure you are aware any underlying assumptions your analysis requires beforehand !
- Visualize your results with plotting libraries like Matplotlib/Seaborn to easily interpret these findings! Use boxplots/histograms/heatmaps where appropriate depending on your question !

Research Ideas

• Using the results of this survey, you could develop targeted outreach campaigns directed at underrepresented groups that answer “No” to questions about their employers providing resources for mental health or discussing it as part of wellness programs.
• Analyzing the employee characteristics (e.g., age and gender) of those who reported negative consequences from discussing their mental health in the workplace could inform employer policies to support individuals with mental health conditions and reduce stigma and discrimination in the workplace.
• Correlating responses to questions about remote work, leave policies, and anonymity with whether or not individuals have sought treatment for a mental health condition may provide insight into which types of workplace resources are most beneficial for supporting employees dealing with these issues

This is the dataset used for my first project for mental health analysis with Ann Bertram and Tiffany McBride at Purdue Fort Wayne. It has been cleaned and divided into datasets based on the states. Each dataset will include demographic information such as age, education level, ethnicity, race, genders, mental illness flags, etc. For more information, please refer to the codebook.

We collect direct text data from the narrative of the people who faced psychological problem. Then, we make this dataset from the text. In this dataset there are 6 columns those are Age, Gender, Problem description, problem summary, problem category and problem psychological category.

We collected over 10,087 posts from cancer patients and their caregivers on platforms like Reddit, Daily Strength, and the Health Board. The posts were related to five types of cancer: brain, colon, liver, leukemia, and lung cancer. Two team members scored each post based on the emotions expressed, using a scale from -2 to 1. Negative scores (-1 or -2) were given for posts showing grief or suffering, positive scores (1) for happy emotions like relief or accomplishment, and posts with no emotion received a score of 0 and were considered neutral. This analysis aims to understand the emotional aspects of cancer patients posts for a mental health study.

This dataset comprises mental health data from 1977 Bangladeshi university students across 15 top universities, collected from November to December 2023 using Google Forms. It includes assessments of academic anxiety, stress, and depression using widely used psychometric scales. The structured questionnaire covers sociodemographic variables and their associations, facilitating comprehensive analysis. Statistical analysis yielded satisfactory internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.79), with anonymized participant data valuable for policymakers.

The objectives of this study were to assess the association of pet ownership and the quality of life, loneliness, anxiety, stress, and mental health of Canadians during the confinement measures following second wave of COVID-19 in Canada. This dataset contains the questionnaires (English and French), the data, and the R code used between April and November 2021.

These data sets are survey results collected by OSMI and are made available by the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license. One survey was performed in 2014 and the other in 2016. Both of the surveys seek to understand how people that work in technology view mental health issues and to understand what support they receive from their employer.OSMI has made the data sets for both the 2014 survey and the 2016 survey available on Kaggle.

Context

This dataset explores the relationship between digital behavior and mental well-being among 100,000 individuals. It records how much time people spend on screens, use of social media (including TikTok), and how these habits may influence their sleep, stress, and mood levels.

It includes six numerical features, all clean and ready for analysis, making it ideal for machine learning tasks like regression or classification. The data enables researchers and analysts to investigate how modern digital lifestyles may impact mental health indicators in measurable ways.

Dataset Applications

• Quantify how screen‑time, TikTok use, or multi‑platform engagement statistically relate to stress, sleep loss, and mood.
• Train regression or classification models that forecast stress level or mood score from real‑time digital‑usage metrics.
• Feed user‑specific data into recommender systems that suggest screen‑time caps or bedtime routines to improve mental health.
• Provide evidence for guidelines on youth screen‑time limits and platform moderation based on observed stress‑sleep trade‑offs.
• Serve as a teaching dataset for EDA, feature engineering, and model evaluation in data‑science or psychology curricula.
• Evaluate app interventions (e.g., screen‑time nudges) by comparing predicted versus actual post‑intervention stress or mood shifts.
• Cluster individuals into digital‑behavior personas (e.g., “heavy late‑night scrollers”) to tailor mental‑health resources.
• Generate synthetic time‑series scenarios (what‑if reductions in TikTok hours) to estimate downstream impacts on sleep and stress.
• Use engineered features (ratio of TikTok hours to total screen‑time, etc.) in broader wellbeing models that include diet or exercise data.
• Assess whether mental‑health prediction models remain accurate and unbiased across different screen‑time or platform‑use segments. # Column Descriptions
• screen_time_hours – Daily total screen usage in hours across all devices.
• social_media_platforms_used – Number of different social media platforms used per day.
• hours_on_TikTok – Time spent on TikTok daily, in hours.
• sleep_hours – Average number of sleep hours per night.
• stress_level – Stress intensity reported on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high).
• mood_score – Self-rated mood on a scale from 2 (poor) to 10 (excell # Inspiration This dataset was inspired by growing concerns about how screen time and social media affect mental health. It enables analysis of the links between digital habits, stress, sleep, and mood—encouraging data-driven solutions for healthier online behavior and emotional well-being. # Ethically Mined Data: This dataset has been ethically mined and synthetically generated without collecting any personally identifiable information. All values are artificial but statistically realistic, allowing safe use in academic, research, and public health projects while fully respecting user privacy and data ethics.
