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.
