Abstract

As it is not possible to identify mental risk elements through basic physical examinations and even individuals suspected of having serious depression do not take mental examinations as much as physical examinations, it is necessary to specifically predict and analyze mental diseases through basic physical examinations alone. Therefore, in this study, a model capable of predicting severe depression through physical elements and individual environmental factors is created, and its accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity are analyzed. In particular, neural networks are utilized for the prediction of severe depression. The artificial neural network (ANN) model is used and the results are compared. The comparison of the results the ANN model using various optimization methods revealed that the severe depression prediction accuracy of the ANN model is 83.16%. In addition, the prediction accuracy of the machine learning algorithm for severe depression prediction is presented in detail by comparing the area under curve (AUC) results of the two models.
