Farsi Mental State and Emotional Needs Dataset for Psychological Text Mining

Each sample contains free-form user-generated text expressing emotional distress, mental health concerns, or existential reflection. The samples were collected and labeled between June and July 2025 from public online Persian-language mental health forums and social discussion platforms.

The raw texts were anonymized and selected based on depth of psychological content and relevance to emotion-focused analysis. Texts involving offensive or highly clinical content were excluded. Each entry in the dataset has the following structure: { "id": 75, "text": "دوست دارم یکی توی این دنیا باشه التماسش کنم... چرا اینجوری شد؟...", "mental_state": ["hopelessness", "regret"], "emotional_need": ["closure", "forgiveness"] } id: a unique numeric identifier text: the original Persian user-generated sample mental_state: a list of inferred emotional or psychological states (e.g., hopelessness, numbness, anxiety) emotional_need: a list of underlying emotional or psychological needs (e.g., support, validation, escape) The labels were assigned by a native Farsi-speaking expert with a background in psychology and AI.
