    Multi-task learning on mental disorder detection, sentiment analysis, and emotion detection using social media posts
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Armah, Courage; Dehkharghani, Rahim
    Mental disorders such as suicidal behavior, bipolar disorder, depressive disorders, and anxiety have been diagnosed among the youth recently. Social media platforms such as Reddit have become popular for anonymous posts. People are far more likely to share on these social media platforms what they really feel like in their real lives when they are anonymous. It is thus helpful to extract people's sentiments and feelings from these platforms in training models for mental disorder detection. This study uses multi-task learning techniques to examine the estimation of behaviors and mental states for early mental disease diagnosis. We propose a multi-task system trained on three related tasks: mental disorder detection as the primary task, emotion analysis, and sentiment analysis as auxiliary tasks. We took the SWMH dataset, which included four main different mental disorders already labeled (bipolar, depression, anxiety, and suicide) and offmychest. We then added labels for emotion and sentiment to the dataset. The observed results are comparable to previous studies in the field and demonstrate that deep learning multi-task frameworks can improve the accuracy of related text classification tasks when compared to training them separately as single-task systems.

    Mental disorder and suicidal ideation detection from social media using deep neural networks
    (Springer, 2024-12) Ezerceli, Özay; Dehkharghani, Rahim
    Depression and suicidal ideation are global reasons for life-threatening injury and death. Mental disorders have increased especially among young people in recent years, and early detection of those cases can prevent suicide attempts. Social media platforms provide users with an anonymous space to interact with others, making them a secure environment to discuss their mental disorders. This paper proposes a solution to detect depression/suicidal ideation using natural language processing and deep learning techniques. We used Transformers and a unique model to train the proposed model and applied it to three diferent datasets: SuicideDetection, CEASEv2.0, and SWMH. The proposed model is evaluated using the accuracy, precision, recall, and ROC curve. The proposed model outperforms the state-of-theart in the SuicideDetection and CEASEv2.0 datasets, achieving F1 scores of 0.97 and 0.75, respectively. However, in the SWMH data set, the proposed model is 4% points behind the state-of-the-art precision providing the F1 score of 0.68. In the real world, this project could help psychologists in the early detection of depression and suicidal ideation for a more efcient treatment. The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art performance in two of the three datasets, so they could be used to develop a screening tool that could be used by mental health professionals or individuals to assess their own risk of suicide. This could lead to early intervention and treatment, which could save lives.
