Abstract

As users on social networks (SNs) interact with one another by exchanging information, giving feedback, finding new content, and participating in discussions; thus, generating large volumes of data each day. This data includes images, texts, videos and can be used to help the user find out how they have been doing, when they were depressed, how not to be depressed, and other similar insights. Depression is one of the most common chronic illnesses and it has emerged as a global mental health problem. But the lack of these data is incomplete, sparse and sometimes inaccurate, and so the task of diagnosing depression using automated systems is still proving a challenge. Various techniques have been used to detect depression through the years however, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques offer better ways. In the context of that, this study reviews state-of-the-art ML and DL approaches for the detection of depression using systematic literature review (SLR) method as well as highlight fundamental challenges in literature, which future works can focus on. We hope that this survey will provide a better understanding of these strategies for the readers and researchers in the ML and DL fields, when it comes to diagnosis of depression.

Abstract

The detection and classification of depression and other mental disorders have become crucial in the modern era, particularly with the growing reliance on social media for self-expression. Existing systems often face challenges like limited prediction accuracy, difficulty forecasting future mental illnesses, and handling both clinical and non-clinical data. This study proposes a novel analytical model that not only screens individuals' current mental health status from social media content but also predicts the likelihood of future mental health issues. The proposed methodology integrates classical machine learning (ML) models, ensemble learning approaches, and pretrained models for enhanced detection and forecasting accuracy. The outcome shows that pre-trained language models accomplished maximized F1-score and overall performance significantly better than conventional ML and ensemble models. The system outperforms existing methods with a significant accuracy improvement, achieving 90.9% overall accuracy, a 7.2% improvement over traditional ML classifiers, 5.8% over ensemble models, and 11.3% over language models.

Abstract

Current techniques for detecting depression are labor-intensive and subjective, depending on clinical interviews or self-reports. There is a growing adoption of machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) to automatically identify depression in textual data. The lack of interpretability, which is essential for healthcare applications, is still a major obstacle, though. By combining convolution neural network (CNN) for feature extraction, bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) for capturing sequential dependencies, and transformer-based pre-trained language model (PTLM) for contextual understanding, this study offers an interpretable framework for early depression identification. Additionally, the system uses a novel interpretability method to guarantee transparent decision-making. The outcome of the proposed system is found to achieve 96.2% accuracy, 94.5% precision, 95.1% recall, and 94.8% F1-score, which is a significant improvement over current method. This framework acts as a useful tool for early mental health intervention.
