The system consists of a text acquisition interface for acquiring user-generated textual content, a processing unit functionally linked to memory, and analytical modules executed by the processing unit to analyze emotional and cognitive traits of the acquired textual content. The processing unit processes the acquired textual content into structured contextual forms for computational analysis. An emotional analysis module detects emotional cues conveyed through the textual content, and a cognitive analysis module identifies irregular cognitive patterns and negative cognitive expressions indicative of psychological distress. A risk evaluation unit integrates the outputs from both modules to produce structured mental health risk indicators."
