<![CDATA[This study aims to classify depression risk levels based on screen time and digital lifestyle patterns using the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) method. The dataset used includes several important variables, such as daily screen time, frequency of social media use, and sleep duration and quality. These variables were chosen because they are considered to have a strong association with mental health, particularly depressive symptoms that often arise from excessive digital device use. A KNN model was then developed and tested to categorize individuals into three depression risk categories: low, medium, and high. The evaluation results showed that the model with a k value of 5 achieved a predictive accuracy of 85%, indicating that this method is quite effective as a data-driven classification tool. The findings of this study suggest that digital lifestyle patterns can be an early indicator in predicting depression risk, thus requiring more systematic monitoring. However, this model still needs to be combined with clinical assessment for a more comprehensive and accurate diagnosis. ]]>
