Prediction of Mental Health Instability using Machine Learning and Deep Learning Algorithms

Abstract: One’s mental health instability can hinder the individual’s life that leads to various health issues, like depression and anxiety that in turn results in mental imbalance or severe psychological instability. This psychological instability can lead to bipolar disorder. There are various reasons affecting one’s mental well-being, the reasons can either be modifiable or nonmodifiable. Bipolar disorder causes changes in a person's mood and energy. People will experience intense emotional states because of disorder. Proper diagnosis and treatment is required for the people with this disorder which lead to healthy and active lives. Determination of this psychological instability can be predicted using machine learning and deep learning algorithms and the accuracies will be compared for the same. The dataset used is a survey based real time dataset which identifies the everyday activities and conditions of various individuals. The survey questionnaire consists of various questions determining the stress and psychological feelings among the individuals. This dataset is used in training the models to determine the prevalence of any psychological instability. Comparison of various bipolar classification methods with their performance accuracy against the real- time dataset is done. Detection of psychological instability plays a key role in reducing the risk of severity
