Depression Detection System Using Python
Depression Detection System Using Python
Abstract
Depression is a leading cause of mental illness, and it has been linked to an increased risk of
premature death. Furthermore, it is a major contributor to suicidal thoughts and causes significant
impairment in daily life. Every year, one in every 15 adults suffers from depression, affecting 300
million people worldwide. Several previous empirical studies have shown that certain linguistic
characteristics can be analyzed and correlated to likely depression symptoms, as well as help
predict self-destructive behavior.
This Depression Detection System detects the type of depression (anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar) and
recommends nearby clinics to consult a psychiatrist. Furthermore, the user must speak for 1
minute about themselves while their facial expressions are being recorded. The user must take a
quiz and answer all of the questions.
In this system, Naive Bayes is used for the quiz. CNN and a unique dataset for Depression faces
will be created for Image & Video. This system detects the type of depression and recommends
that nearby clinics consult a psychiatrist.
The programming language used in this system is Python. Html, CSS, and JavaScript are used on
the front end, and MySQL is used on the back end. Here, we have used the Django framework.
Humans have a stronger sense of emotions and feelings, which can be combined with technology
to create useful tools. This depression detection system is extremely useful in facilitating
depression self-evaluation and improving diagnostic accuracy. In addition, for 1 minute, the user
must say something about themselves, and their facial emotion will be detected.
