Abstract

BACKGROUND: In recent years, more and more people suffer from depression and anxiety. These symptoms are hard to be spotted and can be very dangerous. Currently, the Self-Reported Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Reported Depression Scale (SDS) are commonly used for initial screening for depression and anxiety disorders. However, the information contained in these two scales is limited, while the symptoms of subjects are various and complex, which results in the inconsistency between the questionnaire evaluation results and the clinician's diagnosis results. To fully mine the scale data, we propose a method to extract the features from the facial expression and movements, which are generated from the video recorded simultaneously when subjects fill in the scale. Then we collect the facial expression, movements and scale information to establish a multimodal framework for improving the accuracy and robustness of the diagnosis of depression and anxiety.
