Depression Analysis Using Facial Recognition, Speech and Questionnaires

Depression has long been a source of worry in our culture, and it has remained a hot issue for scholars all around the world. Depression is a common cause of mental illness that has been associated with an increased risk of dying early. Furthermore, it is a leading cause of suicide ideation and significantly impairs everyday functioning. Despite the vast amount of research on understanding individual moods, including depression, anxiety, and stress-related activity, Predicting emotions using these activity records collected by ubiquitous computing devices such as cellphones remains an unsolved task. In this project, we have proposed a system for detecting suicidal thoughts and analysing depression, for predicting suicidal acts based on the level of depression.
