While sentiment analysis revealed that all clusters had more negative sentiment classes than positive. Cluster 4 and Cluster 5 had the highest number of negative sentiment values. These clusters emphasize the necessity of consulting with psychiatrists and psychologists if people have mental health disorders, as well as financing for mental health disorder treatment through BPJS Kesehatan services.Originality/value/state of the art: The analysis was done in two stages: data grouping to find themes of conversation using K-Means clustering and SVM to look for positive and negative polarity values associated to twitter data about mental illness.]]>
