Depression is a chronic
ailment and a critical disease that affects day-to-day human activities,
feelings, and thoughts. Depression causes sadness or a lack of interest
in any day-to-day activities. Today, depression affects more than 200
million individuals worldwide. It may become better if the affected
person can avoid the sentiments of desolation, hopelessness, and
worthlessness for few days to weeks. To carry out a further research on
depression analysis, this research study. As a result, makes use of
Facebook data. From the research literature, the proposed research study
has observed that there is no lengthy studies have been written for
Bengali Facebook. Hence, the proposed research work has compiled a list
of Bengali Facebook comments, status updates, and posts. Recently,
different supervised learning techniques are used to estimate different
kinds of problem and corresponding solutions. The proposed research
study has attempted to predict the depression from depression data.
Here, the state-of-the-art algorithms like Supporting Vector Machine
[SVM], Random Forest, Decision Tree, K-Nearest Neighbors, and Naïve
Bayes [NB] are applied and the results are then compared. According to
the comparative results, different algorithms deliver similar results
and outcomes for all classifiers applied on the proposed research study
by analyzing the depression and non-depression data with an accuracy
close to 90%.
