Abstract:

Depression detection from Social Networking sites has been studied broadly in previous years. These sites provide a platform for their users to share their life events, emotions, and everyday routine. Many researchers demonstrated that content generated by the users is an efficient way to know about their mental state. By mining user-generated content, depression can be predicted. By collecting all the necessary and relevant information from the social networking sites from the posts, we can predict the person-s mood or negativity. This survey paper focuses on prior research done regarding detecting depression levels based on content from social network sites.
