A mood patch is fabricated by applying a thermotropic crystal material onto a flexible backing material. An encapsulant is placed over the thermotropic crystal material. The mood patch is coupled to the skin of an individual using a non-allergenic adhesive. The adhesive is applied to the contact side of the backing material during the fabrication process or the application process. The mood patch changes color to indicate the emotional state of an individual. This change in state is used by a clinically trained person, a supervisor or other technically trained individual to monitor and react to a change in emotional state of an individual by monitoring and interpreting the presented color of the mood patch. The mood patch can be of any shape and further include artwork on the face to improve aesthetics. A plurality of thermotropic material deposits can be utilized, each with a different activation temperature allowing the user to calibrate to the wearer's current emotional state. A calibration indicator is incorporated to further aid in calibrating the mood patch.
