Abstract

Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death globally and is a serious public health problem. Compounded by the lack of mental health professionals and lack of access to mental health services, it is difficult for people with mental health issues to seek treatment. The advancements in artificial intelligence have led to the development of mental health digital solution, such as chatbots. A chatbot is a software application that simulates human conversations with users through text or voice interactions. Chatbots have been receiving increasing attention lately for its roles in providing alternative support and helping in filling the gaps in mental health care. Although there are many chatbots that are widely used for mental health, they are not designed to detect suicide risk. In this paper, a two-stage classification chatbot is proposed for suicidal ideation detection.
