Mental health has always been important and issues related to it have always been dangerous. Government has launched a lot of programs and campaigns for the awareness and for the help related to mental health. In this fast developing world, the big thing is technology which is used literally everywhere. Over the past few years there have been numerous developed technologies that could help people struggling with mental disorders. Along with the patients with mental illness, caregivers also face mental stress and health issues due to the stress faced by them on being with the family members with mental health disorders. In this paper, we discuss the various issues of mental health and the stress faced by their caregivers and the technology that is currently in use to monitor the patients with mental disorders. Existing health monitoring system lacks the monitoring of the mood swings of the patient and also the support for the caregiver. Here, we propose a real time artificial mood-tracking and health monitoring for both people with mental disorders and wide mood swings and their caregivers using various sensors. The proposed methodology is more accurate and unique as it monitors the brain chemical - dopamine level of the patient using biosensor, along with other vital health parameters and also provides measures to handle the worse situations.
