Meanwhile, the Social network sites have been using to seek remedy for their worries not knowing they are having mental problems.

These techniques introduce how to handle the retrieved data in the course of data analysis. This study has highlighted and revealed the user's mental health status and condition by analyzing each user's data. Analyzing data involves training each user's data to get an output and also have a test set to get efficiency and accuracy. This study has brought out many depressive indicative words which play an important role to bring this study success. We also proposed some few methods that have been carried out in this study. Analyzation for efficiency has been performed using this proposed method which containing packages of emotional words and can also increase the accuracy, efficiency and the scale of analyzation lapse.
