Abstract	In this really hectic world, quite a number of people are exposed to situations where mental stress Is unavoidable. This leads to people having all kinds of mental health problems that eventually may turn to chronic mental disorders. People with mental health problems normally have the tendency of not admitting their health problems because of the stigma attached to these kinds of illnesses. Most of them are in denial state, and this situation may cause very serious social problems since people with mental problems will develop some kind of mental disorders, and as a result, they might be harmful to others around them. People with mental health problems must receive proper treatments and medications. If their mental status can be assessed and examined easily, then most probably their mental problems can be detected at a very early stage, and can be easily controlled and cured. The above scenarios become the motivation for conducting this research. This research paper presents some findings on mental health and disorders on past research study's results and also proposes an online mental status examination (MSE) system that examines individuals' mental health status. The result of the MSE system is used in determining whether the respective person needs to undergo a more detailed diagnosis for more specific mental disorders. It is hoped that the outcomes of this research study are able to assist new psychotherapists and psychiatrists in examining and diagnosing those who are affected by some kind of mental disorders in a more efficient manner.
