Depression is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, posing a severe burden on individuals, healthcare systems, and society at large. Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise in addressing mental…

Depression has been the leading cause of mental-health illness worldwide. Major depressive disorder (MDD), is a common mental health disorder that affects both psychologically as well as physically which could lead to loss of lives. Due to…

Language use has been shown to correlate with depression, but large-scale validation is needed. Traditional methods like clinic studies are expensive. So, natural language processing has been employed on social media to predict depression,…

Depression is a common mental disorder which has been affecting millions of people around the world and becoming more severe with the arrival of COVID-19. Nevertheless proper diagnosis is not accessible in many regions due to a severe…

This study investigates the detection and classification of depressive and non-depressive states using deep learning approaches. Depression is a prevalent mental health disorder that substantially affects quality of life, and early…

Depression is a common and serious mood disorder that negatively affects the patient's capacity of functioning normally in daily tasks. Speech is proven to be a vigorous tool in depression diagnosis. Research in psychiatry concentrated on…

Emotions recognition is commonly employed for health assessment. However, the typical metric for evaluation in therapy is based on patient-doctor appraisal. This process can fall into the issue of subjectivity, while also requiring…

Existing studies on using social media for deriving mental health status of users focus on the depression detection task. However, for case management and referral to psychiatrists, healthcare workers require practical and scalable…

When using AI to detect signs of depressive disorder, AI models habitually draw preemptive conclusions. We theorize that using chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting to evaluate Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8) scores will improve the…

In this work, we provide an extensive part-of-speech analysis of the discourse of social media users with depression. Research in psychology revealed that depressed users tend to be self-focused, more preoccupied with themselves and…

Users of social platforms often perceive these sites as supportive spaces to post about their mental health issues. Those conversations contain important traces about individuals' health risks. Recently, researchers have exploited this…

The classical approach to detecting depression from vision emphasizes interpretable features, such as facial expression, and classifiers such as the Support Vector Machine (SVM). With the advent of deep learning, there has been a shift in…

Bipolar disorder, a severe chronic mental illness characterized by pathological mood swings from depression to mania, requires ongoing symptom severity tracking to both guide and measure treatments that are critical for maintaining…

The lack of explainability using relevant clinical knowledge hinders the adoption of Artificial Intelligence-powered analysis of unstructured clinical dialogue. A wealth of relevant, untapped Mental Health (MH) data is available in online…

Current approaches to detecting depression and anxiety from speech primarily rely on machine learning techniques that utilize hand-engineered paralinguistic features and related acoustic descriptors derived from time- and frequency-domain…

This study investigates whether speech-based depression detection models learn depression-related acoustic biomarkers or instead rely on speaker identity cues. Using the DAIC-WOZ dataset, we propose a data-splitting strategy that controls…

In recent years, extensive research has emerged in affective computing on topics like automatic emotion recognition and determining the signals that characterize individual emotions. Much less studied, however, is expressiveness, or the…

Automatic depression detection has attracted increasing amount of attention but remains a challenging task. Psychological research suggests that depressive mood is closely related with emotion expression and perception, which motivates the…

Intelligent monitoring systems and affective computing applications have emerged in recent years to enhance healthcare. Examples of these applications include assessment of affective states such as Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). MDD…

Accurate identification of mental health biomarkers can enable earlier detection and objective assessment of compromised mental well-being. In this study, we analyze electrodermal activity recorded during an Emotional Stroop task to capture…
