Determining the Influencing Factors of COVID 19 on Mental Health Using Neural Network

Abstract

In 2020 there is outbreak of the pandemic COVID 19. Due to the pandemic most of the
countries enforced full lockdown. During lockdown the mental health of the common people of all ages
are affected. The study aims to investigate the factors which influence the mental health. Mental health
is influenced by the various factors. In this research the artificial neural network is used to predict the
factors influencing the mental health due to COVID 19 pandemic. Experimental result showed that
artificial neural network not only has better accuracy up to 81.5% but also faster training process.
Based on these results, the determinant factors of mental health among people are: frustration, fear,
sudden change in daily life style, anxiety to perceive changes as a challenge.
