Depression is a mental disorder and is deeply self-damaging. A depressed person not only hurts himself but also causes more damage. The affected people show different behaviors and actions. As new technologies are introduced and the virtual environments are improving, intelligent technologies have replaced important people like therapists. Since the last decade, various state-of-the-art techniques have been proposed by researchers for the detection of depression moods in text messages. The paper reviews and analyzes various Deep Learning models and techniques that have already been utilized in earlier research and presents a comparison based on their accuracy of detection. The study observes that the transformer model and deep hybrid neural network model have arrived as the state-of-the-art and these are highly superior and provide much better accuracy compared to other algorithms.
According to WHO, there are over approximately 280 million people in the world suffering
from depressive disorder as of 2021, and it is a leading cause of disability, and over 700,000
people die every year due to severe major depressive disorder. It can cause depressed
people to suffer from a persistent feeling of guilt, sadness and hopelessness, and lose
interest in activities they once enjoyed. Apart from the sentimental problems caused by
depression, individuals may also face physical problems such as chronic pain or digestive
issues (World Health Organization, 2021).
Based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5)
Diagnostic criteria, the individual must be dealing with five or more symptoms during
the same 2-week period and at least one of the symptoms should be either (1) depressed
mood or (2) loss of interest (Truschel, 2022).
One of the most important and impactful issues that the application of technology and
data can address is access to healthcare. Many studies have shown that treating patients
with online psychotherapy is as effective as face-to-face psychotherapy interviews.
