BACKGROUND: Depression is a common mental disorder and causes significant social loss. Early intervention for depression is important. Nonetheless, depressed patients tend to conceal their symptoms from others based on shame and stigma, thus hesitate...
BACKGROUND: Mood disorders and schizophrenia affect millions worldwide. Currently, diagnosis is primarily determined by reported symptomatology. As symptoms may overlap, misdiagnosis is common, potentially leading to ineffective or destabilizing trea...
OBJECTIVE: This study proposes to identify and validate weighted sensor stream signatures that predict near-term risk of a major depressive episode and future mood among healthcare workers in Kenya.
Depression is a psychological condition which hampers day to day activity (Thinking, Feeling or Action). The early detection of this illness will help to save many lives because it is now recognized as a global problem which could even lead to suicid...
