Mental Health & Depression Detection from Social Media

A model that flags signs of depression from social media text with explainable predictions.

Overview

A BERT-BiLSTM ensemble classifies social media text for depression signals, supported by emotion-aware preprocessing and SMOTE balancing. LIME and SHAP clarify why each prediction was made, and a real-time dashboard displays live depression-risk output.

Problem Statement

Depression is under-reported and often first visible in how someone writes online, long before they seek help. But an unexplained mental-health classifier is both clinically and ethically unusable.

Proposed Solution

Combine a transformer with a sequence model for accuracy, correct the severe class imbalance in mental-health datasets, and make every prediction interpretable before it is shown to anyone.

Key Features

  • BERT-BiLSTM Ensemble Models

    Deep learning-based text classification for depression signals.

  • Emotion-Aware Preprocessing & SMOTE Balancing

    Improves signal quality and class balance.

  • Explainable AI (LIME & SHAP)

    Clarifies why a prediction was made.

  • Real-Time Dashboard

    Live depression-risk prediction display.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does this project cost?

Every project is quoted individually, because the price depends on the modules you need, your technology stack, your college's format and your deadline. Send us the project name on WhatsApp and we'll share a quote the same day.

Can the project be customised to my college requirements?

Yes. Share your guide's requirements, preferred technology stack and abstract format, and we adapt the modules, dataset or UI accordingly.

Will I be able to explain this project during my viva?

That is the point of the explanation session. We walk you through the architecture, every module, the flow of data and the results, and hand over a viva question bank with answers.

What if the project does not run on my laptop?

We help you with setup end to end — dependencies, environment, database and configuration — over chat or a call until it runs on your machine.

Do I get support after submission?

Yes. Post-delivery support is included, so you can come back for fixes, doubts or demo help even after the project is delivered.
