Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to facilitate psychologists in handling individuals with mental disorders by categorizing them based on their symptoms and conditions using fuzzy logic, which mimics the functioning of the human brain.Design/methodology/approach: The categorization is performed by applying Mamdani fuzzy logic, designed in consultation with psychology experts. Ten initial symptoms each have parameters (Mild, Moderate, and Severe) as input variables, and the output variable involves mental health disorders such as Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder, Eating disorders, and Anxiety. The fuzzy process employs the Mamdani method with IF-THEN rules and AND operators. The implementation of Mamdani fuzzy logic achieves adequate accuracy in classifying individuals with mental disorders, providing a strong foundation for a more targeted psychological approach. In the context of accuracy, fuzzification analysis for each health disorder can offer further insights.Findings/result: Results of the study for Schizophrenia, for instance, show a fuzzy diagram membership of approximately 0.4, indicating a potentially high level of thought impairment and interpersonal skills. Weighting for low, medium, and high is then assessed to categorize patients. A similar process is undertaken for Bipolar disorder, with special attention to the middle value and the strong relationship between two input values. Regarding mental illness, membership analysis indicates an increasing level of membership corresponding to condition groups, suggesting compatibility with existing rules.Originality/value/state of the art: These findings reinforce the Mamdani fuzzy logic implementation as a reliable approach in classifying individuals with mental disorders, with the potential to enhance psychological diagnosis and interventions more effectively
