A computer-implemented method of assessing the metal state of an individual by: (1) providing the individual with a wearable device (e.g., eyewear) that includes one or more sensors for assessing the mental state of the individual, (2) using information from one or more of the sensors to assess the mental state of the individual; and (3) informing the individual or a third party of the individual's mental state. In various embodiments, the method further involves using the wearable device to determine one or more environmental factors that are related to the individual's mental state. For example, the method may involve determining (e.g., from one or more images taken using the wearable device) that the individual is frequently in a stressed emotional state when a particular person is present, when the individual is engaged in a particular activity, and/or when the wearer experiences a certain internal or external context.
