Abstract
This study presents a learning method for analyzing depression through text using a mix of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Transformer frameworks to pinpoint subtle linguistic cues linked to depression. While natural language processing (NLP) has made strides in health analysis current models often struggle to pick up on nuanced shifts in language related to the condition. The proposed approach involves data gathering, preparation and model training with a focus on understanding language structures. The model’s accuracy is assessed using measures to ensure its reliability in detecting depression. By outperforming existing models in terms of accuracy this study represents a step in mental health diagnosis by offering a more precise and effective tool, for identifying depression.
