Depression is an acute problem
throughout the world, where more than 264 million people are suffering
from it. Due to worst and prolong depression near around 800000 people
dies in every year. The real problem is that most of the people are not
concern of the fact that they are suffering from depression. Here, our
aim was to find out whether an individual is depressed or not by
analyzing social media text information. Our dataset consists of 1500
sentences, which was collected from different social media platforms-
Facebook, Tweeter, and Instagram. Then we have performed natural
language based data pre-processing approaches such astokenization,
remove of stop words, remove of empty string, remove of punctuations,
stemming and lemmatizing. After data preprocessing, we considered
processed text as input. We work on six different machine learning
classifiers which produced great accuracy over our dataset. Among six
algorithms, Multinomial Naive Bayes and Logistic Regression provided 95%
accuracy.
