+# 🧠 Mental Health Posts Dataset
+
+This dataset is curated for mental health emotion classification tasks. It originates from the **Counsel Chat Dataset** available on Kaggle and has been preprocessed and restructured to suit NLP-based classification models.
+
+## 📄 Overview
+
+The dataset is designed to support the training and evaluation of models that classify user-generated mental health posts into one of the following categories:
+
+- `depression`
+- `anxiety`
+- `suicidal`
+- `addiction`
+- `eating_disorder`
+
+These categories represent primary mental health concerns commonly discussed in therapy or support communities.
+
+---
+
+## 📁 Files and Structure
+
+### ✅ `/trainingData/final_sampled_dataset.csv`
+
+- **Source**: Combined 20% samples from five individual emotion category files (from Kaggle).
+- **Columns**:
+  - `posts`: The actual text content of the mental health post.
+  - `main_label`: The main category label for classification.
+  - `sub_label`: A finer-grained label, **not used** in this version of the model.
+
+### ✅ `/testingData/final_dataset2.csv`
+
+- **Source**: Posts collected from Reddit-like sources used as a separate test set.
+- **Columns**:
+  - `selftext`: The post content.
+  - `subreddit`: The subreddit name used as a proxy label (e.g., `depression`, `anxiety`, etc.).
+
+---
+
+## 🛠️ Construction Details
+
+- 20% data was sampled from each category file of the **Counsel Chat Dataset**.
+- Merged into a unified format for training.
+- Testing data was kept separate to ensure generalization from a different distribution.
+
+---
+
+## 🔍 Use Cases
+
+This dataset supports:
+- Emotion classification model training.
+- Mental health support system simulations.
+- Research on text-based diagnostic AI in psychology.
