Overview

Depression is an extremely prevalent issue in society today, and this program will hopefully help tackle issue. The goal of this program is to let people understand their mental health better, since most people have no idea if they're depressed. This program does this by letting the user take a survey, letting the user identify whether they have depression or not, and giving them helpful sources to combat their depression if they have it. This program will also motivate the user, and give mentally motivating comments, to help with the depression.

Audience

The audience of this program could be anybody, since anyone can suffer from depression. The viewer of this program may be perfectly fine, or may need help with their mental health, and this factor is extremely hard to determine to such an extent where even the person themselves may not know about their depression.

My coding experience as a whole is mainly from Python Class at school. This is the only coding experience I have, and I have only been coding since September 2022.

Working Application (optional)

My experience working on this program went relatively smoothly, since I already had a large amount of experience and knowledge on Python, from learning it in school over the span of a few months. I learned quite a lot from this program, and I will definitely use this knowledge for the future of my coding journey.

This program is mainly a survey, but something I find cool about this is that absolutely all of the survey questions, responses, and answers rely on data structures such as lists and dictionaries. One of the hardest problems I had while making this program was drawing the faces. Although it seems easy, it is actually very difficult to make simple figures such as smiles. The majority of the troubleshooting of the code came from the smiles not being symmetrical enough, and me having to adjust numbers by small decimals. This process was very infuriating, but eventually, I got it down to a point where it looked good. The future features of this program are mainly just expanding the survey. Adding more questions is the most important goal for the program.
