8
2.1 Introduction to Literature Survey
A literature survey for prediction of mental health involves conducting a review
of all existing data in this field. The main objective is to analyze this data and list
out how can improve the accuracy by making necessary modifications. The
literature survey deals with multiple steps like identifying the research question
analyzing the data, taking required information, and understanding multiple
approaches used in this topic. A literature survey helps us to identify the gaps which
will help in filling them.

2.2 Literature Survey

Traditional Approaches to Mental Health Assessment: Traditional methods of


assessing mental health, such as self-report surveys and clinician evaluations, have been the
norm. However, these methods are often subjective, reliant on individuals' self- disclosure, and
may not capture early signs of mental health issues. There is a recognized need for more
objective and data-driven approaches to enhance the accuracy of mental health assessments.

Data Science Applications in Mental Health: The integration of data science in mental
health research has gained momentum in recent years. Studies have explored the use of various
data sources, including electronic health records, wearable devices, and social media, to gather
valuable insights into individuals' behavioral patterns and well-being. The application of
machine learning algorithms has shown promise in identifying patterns indicative of mental
health conditions.

Predictive Modeling for Mental Health: Several research endeavors have focused on
developing predictive models for mental health conditions, with an emphasis on early detection.
Machine learning algorithms, particularly classification models, have been applied to predict the
likelihood of depression based on diverse features. These models leverage a range of variables,
including demographic information, lifestyle factors, and behavioral data, to enhance prediction
accuracy.

9
Feature Selection and Model Interpretability: Feature selection is a critical aspect of
developing effective predictive models. Researchers have explored the relevance of different
features in predicting mental health outcomes. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on
enhancing model interpretability, ensuring that the factors contributing to predictions are
transparent and understandable, both for clinicians and individuals.

Ethical Considerations and Privacy Concerns: The intersection of data science and mental
health raises ethical and privacy considerations. Researchers emphasize the importance of
responsible data handling, ensuring confidentiality, and obtaining informed consent. Striking a
balance between extracting meaningful insights and safeguarding individual privacy is crucial in
the development and deployment of mental health prediction models.

CHAPTER-3
SYSTEM ANALYSIS

11
3.1 Introduction

Mental health issues, particularly depression, have become a pressing global concern, affecting
millions of individuals across diverse demographics. The profound impact of depression on
personal well-being and societal productivity necessitates innovative approaches for early
detection and intervention. This Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) student project titled
"Prediction of Mental Health (Depression) Using Data Science and Machine Learning" seeks to
address this critical issue by harnessing the power of data science and machine learning
techniques.

3.2 Problem Statement

The existing methods for predicting and addressing mental health, specifically depression, rely
predominantly on subjective assessments, self-reporting, and retrospective analysis. These
traditional approaches may lead to delayed detection, hindering early intervention and effective
management of mental health conditions. Additionally, the stigma associated with mental health
may contribute to underreporting and a lack of accurate information.
Furthermore, the current systems often lack the ability to provide continuous and real- time
monitoring of individuals, making it challenging to identify subtle changes in mental well-being.
There is a pressing need for a more proactive, objective, and technologically advanced system
that can overcome these limitations and contribute to the early detection and personalized
management of depression.
Key Challenges:

Subjectivity and Delayed Detection: The reliance on subjective assessments and self-
reporting in existing systems may lead to delayed detection of depression. Objective indicators
and early warning signs are often overlooked, hindering timely intervention.
Limited Data Integration: The existing systems may not fully leverage the potential of
diverse data sources, including lifestyle choices, social interactions, and physiological signals.
This limitation may result in an incomplete understanding of the factors influencing mental
health.

12
Lack of Continuous Monitoring: Traditional methods often involve periodic assessments,
missing the opportunity for continuous monitoring. A system that can provide real-time insights
into an individual's mental health status is essential for timely intervention.
Privacy and Ethical Concerns: The integration of sensitive mental health data raises
significant privacy and ethical considerations. Balancing the need for data-driven insights with
the protection of individual privacy is a complex challenge.
Underutilization of Technology: The existing systems may not fully harness the potential
of advanced technologies like data science and machine learning. Integrating these technologies
can enhance the accuracy and efficiency of mental health predictions.

3.3 Existing System


The existing system for predicting mental health, specifically depression, typically relies on
traditional methods of assessment and diagnosis. These methods include:

Clinical Interviews and Surveys: Mental health professionals often conduct clinical interviews
and administer standardized surveys/questionnaires to individuals to assess their mental well-
being. While these methods provide valuable qualitative information, they are subjective and
rely on individuals' self-disclosure.

Symptom-Based Diagnosis: Depression is diagnosed based on the presence of specific


symptoms outlined in established diagnostic manuals such as the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Clinicians assess the severity and duration of symptoms
to determine the presence of a depressive disorder.

Observational Analysis: Mental health professionals may rely on observational analysis of an


individual's behavior, mood, and social interactions during therapy sessions or clinical
assessments. However, this method is limited by the frequency and duration of such
observations.

13
Psychometric Tests: Standardized psychometric tests, such as the Beck Depression Inventory
(BDI) or the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), are commonly used to quantify the
severity of depressive symptoms. These tests provide a numerical score but are dependent on
individuals' self-reporting.

Medical History and Records: Information from an individual's medical history, including past
episodes of depression and family history, is considered in the diagnostic process. However, this
approach may not capture early signs or changes in mental health over time.
While these methods have been valuable in diagnosing depression, they often rely on
retrospective information and may not be adept at early detection. There is a recognized need for
more proactive and objective approaches to identify individuals at risk of depression, which has
led to the exploration of data science and machine learning applications in mental health.
The limitations of the existing system include its reliance on self-reporting, subjectivity, and the
potential for underreporting due to stigma or lack of awareness. The integration of data science
and machine learning aims to overcome these limitations by leveraging diverse datasets and
objective analytical techniques for more accurate and timely predictions of mental health
conditions.

4 Limitation
From the observation of the papers, we can say that there are certain stages which are
very important in the existing system architecture. Firstly, we have the step called image
acquisition means we have to take input as the image only through the scanner and in this
there is no use of any digital camera to capture the image inthe real time system. In this
existing architecture, only the front part of the note is taken into consideration and not the
rear part. After that we have next step called as pre-processing method. In this there are
basically 3 to 4 sub stages involved like pre-processing, grayscale conversion, edge
detection and segmentation.

14
4.1 Modules Description

Fig 3.1 : Methodology

15
4.2 Modules Description
The main stages involved in this method are Data Collection, Pre-processing, Feature
extraction, prediction model and evaluation.
Step 1: Gather Your Dataset
The first component of building a deep learning network is to gather our initial dataset.
We need the images themselves as well as the labels associated with each image. These
labels should come from a finite set of categories, such as: categories fake and real
currency.
Furthermore, the number of images for each category should be approximately uniform
(i.e., the same number of examples per category) then our classifier will become
naturally biased to overfitting into these heavily-represented categories.
Class imbalance is a common problem in machine learning and there exist a number of
ways to overcome it. We’ll discuss some of these methods later, but keep in mind the
best method to avoid learning problems due to class imbalance is to simply avoid class
imbalance entirely. As our system is mainly focusing on detectionof Fake currency, we
gathered our data as images. The dataset obtained consisted of several images of real
and fake currencies.

Step 2: Split Your Dataset and pre-processing


Now that we have our initial dataset, we need to split it into two parts:
1. A training set
2. A testing set
A training set is used by our classifier to “learn” what each category looks like by
making predictions on the input data and then correct itself when predictions are wrong.
After the classifier has been trained, we can evaluate the performing on a testing set. It’s
extremely important that the training set and testing set are independent of each other
and do not overlap! If you use your testing set as part of your training data, then your
classifier has an unfair advantage since it has already seen the testing examples before
and “learned” from them. Instead, you must keep this testing set entirely separate from
your training process and use it onlyto evaluate your network.
16
Common split sizes for training and testing sets include 66:6%33:3%, 75%=25%, and
90%=10%, respectively. (Figure)

Fig 3.2: Examples of common and test data set

Fig 3.3 : Class distribution of real and fake data sets

17
These data splits make sense, but what if you have parameters to tune? Neural
networks have a number of knobs and levers (ex., learning rate, decay,
regularization, etc.) that need to be tuned and dialed to obtain optimal performance.
We’ll call these types of parameters hyperparameters, and it’s critical that they getset
properly. In practice, we need to test a bunch of these hyperparameters and identify
the set of parameters that works the best. You might be tempted to use your testing
data to tweak these values, but again, this is a major no-no! The test set is only used
in evaluating the performance of your network. Instead, you should create a third
data split called the validation set. This set of the data (normally) comes from the
training data and is used as “fake test data” so we can tune our hyperparameters.
Only after have we determined the hyperparameter values using the validation set
do we move on to collecting final accuracy results in the testing data. We normally
allocate roughly 10-20% of the training data for validation. If splitting your data into
chunks sounds complicated, it’s actually not.

Pre-processing
The primary target is to improve image highlights needed for additional processing.
Here, the input image is converted into grayscale image for all the further
preprocessing purposes. The image is then thresholded and further erosion and
dilation is applied to the thresholded image. This image is used to extract the
contours and extreme points.

Step 3: Train Your Network


Given our training set of images, we can now train our network. The goal here is for
our network to learn how to recognize each of the categories in our labeled data.
When the model makes a mistake, it learns from this mistake and improves itself.
So, how does the actual “learning” work? In general, we apply a form of gradient
descent.

18
Step 4: Evaluate
Last, we need to evaluate our trained network. For each of the images in our testing
set, we present them to the network and ask it to predict what it thinks the label of
the image is. We then tabulate the predictions of the model for an image in the testing
set.
Finally, these model predictions are compared to the ground-truth labels from our
testing set. The ground- truth labels represent what the image category actually is.
From there, we can compute the number of predictions our classifier got correct and
compute aggregate reports such as precision, recall, and f-measure, which are used
to quantify the performance of our network as a whole.

Pickle: "Pickle" in the context of Python refers to the `pickle` module, which provides a
mechanism for serializing and deserializing Python objects. Serialization is the process of
converting a Python object into a byte stream, which can then be stored in a file or transmitted
over a network. Deserialization is the reverse process of converting the byte stream back into a
Python object.
The `pickle` module offers a simple interface for serializing and deserializing objects.
It can handle a wide range of Python data types, including lists, dictionaries, tuples,
sets, and even custom classes. This flexibility makes it a powerful tool for saving and
loading complex data structures.
One of the key advantages of using pickle is its ability to preserve the structure and
relationships of objects. When you serialize a complex data structure with pickle, you
can later deserialize it and get back the exact same structure and relationships
between objects. This makes pickle particularly useful for saving and loading
application state, caching data, and transferring data between different parts of a
Python program.
However, there are some limitations and considerations when using pickle. Pickle
files are not human-readable, so they are not suitable for storing data that needs to be
easily readable or edited by humans. Additionally, pickle files can potentially execute
arbitrary code when loaded, so they should not be used with untrusted data sources.
Overall, pickle is a powerful and convenient tool for serializing and deserializing
Python objects. It provides a simple and efficient way to save and load complex data
structures, making it a valuable tool for Python developers.

Fig 5.1: System Architecture

28
5.2 UML DIAGRAMS:
Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a standardized modeling language used in
software engineering to visually represent and document system architectures,
design, and processes. UML provides a set of diagrams and symbols that enable
software developers, architects, and stakeholders to communicate and understand
the various aspects of a system. It serves as a visual blueprint for designing and
documenting software systems. Here's a brief explanation of some key aspects of
UML:
UML consists of several types of diagrams, each serving a specific purpose in
representing different aspects of a system.

Fig 5.2 : UML Diagram

Explanation:
• User (Actor): Represents the user or users interacting with the system.

• Collect Data: Involves gathering relevant data related to mental health, depression, and
related factors from various sources.
• Preprocess Data: Refers to cleaning, organizing, and preparing the collected data for analysis
and model training.

29
• Train Model: Involves using machine learning algorithms to train a predictive model based
on the preprocessed data.
• Evaluate Model: Entails assessing the performance and accuracy of the trained model using
evaluation metrics and techniques.
• Predict Depression: Represents the functionality where the trained model is utilized to
predict depression based on new input data.

5.2.1. CLASS DIAGRAM

Fig 5.3: Class Diagram

Explanation: Class diagrams depict the static structure of a system, showing the classes, their
attributes, and the relationships between classes. They provide a blueprint for the objects that will
be created during the implementation phase

30
• DataCollector: This class is responsible for collecting data related to mental health, which can
include various parameters such as demographic information, medical history, lifestyle habits, etc.
It contains methods for collecting and preprocessing the data.
• FeatureExtractor: Once the data is collected, the FeatureExtractor processes the raw data and
extracts relevant features that can be used for predicting depression. These features might include
demographic attributes, behavioral patterns, social interactions, etc.
• ModelTrainer: The ModelTrainer class is responsible for training the machine learning model
using the extracted features. It takes the processed features as input and trains the predictive
model.
• Model: This class represents the machine learning model used for predicting depression. It
contains methods for training the model on the given data and making predictions.
• Predictor: The Predictor class utilizes the trained model to make predictions on new data instances.
It takes the trained model and new data as input and returns a PredictionResult object containing
the predicted depression level.
• PredictionResult: This class represents the result of a depression prediction. It encapsulates the
predicted depression level, which can be accessed using the getPrediction() method.

31
5.2.2 ACTIVITY DIAGRAM:

We use Activity Diagrams to illustrate the flow of control in a system and refer to the
steps involved in the execution of a use case. We model sequential and concurrent
activities using activity diagrams. So, we basically depict workflows visually using
an activity diagram. An activity diagram focuses on condition of flow and the
sequence in which it happens. We describe or depict what causes a particular event
using an activity diagram. UML models basically three types of diagrams, namely,
structure diagrams, interaction diagrams, and behaviour diagrams. An activity
diagram is a behavioural diagram i.e., it depicts the behaviour of a system. An activity
diagram portrays the control flow from a startpoint to a finish point showing the
various decision paths that exist while the activity is being executed. We can depict
both sequential processing and concurrent processing of activities using an activity
diagram. They are used in business and process modelling where their primary use is
to depict the dynamic aspects of a system. An activity diagram is very similar to a
flowchart.

32
Explanation of the activity diagram:

• Collect Data: This activity involves gathering relevant data related to mental health, particularly
depression, from various sources such as surveys, medical records, or online platforms.
• Preprocess Data: Data preprocessing is crucial for cleaning, transforming, and preparing the
collected data for analysis. This step involves handling missing values, encoding categorical
variables, and scaling numerical features.
• Feature Engineering: Feature engineering is the process of selecting, creating, or transforming
features that will be used as inputs to the machine learning model. This step may include
extracting meaningful features from the data or performing dimensionality reduction techniques.
• Select Model: In this step, different machine learning models are considered for predicting
mental health conditions such as depression. This may involve selecting algorithms like logistic
regression, decision trees, support vector machines, or neural networks.
Train Model: The selected machine learning model is trained using the preprocessed data. The
model learns patterns and relationships within the data that will enable it to make predictions
about an individual's mental health state

5.2.3 USE-CASE DIAGRAM

Use case consists of user and processor where user is used to provide the input to the
system and processor is used to process the input data and provide output. The flow is
shown in the above diagram. First user as to run the system and run the code, model and
library packages are imported and loaded. After the run of code GUI is being displayed
and click on select file and load the test image. After loading the image, click in

CHAPTER-6
IMPLEMENTATIONS

37
OVERVIEW OF SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
Implementation is the process of converting a new system design into an operational one.
It is the key stage in achieving a successful new system. It must therefore be carefully
planned and controlled. The implementation of a system is done after the development
effort is completed.
Steps for Implementation
• Write up Installation of Hardware and Software utilities.
• Write up about sample data used.
• Write up about debugging phase.
• Implementation steps
The implementation phase of software development is concerned with translating design
specifications into source code. The primary goal of implementation is to write source
code and internal documentation so that conformance of the code to its specifications can
be easily verified and so that debugging testing and modification are eased. This goal can
be achieved by making the source code as clear and straightforward as possible.
Simplicity clarity and elegance are the hallmarks of good programs and these
characteristics have been implemented in each program module.
The goals of implementation are as follows
 Minimize the memory required.
 Maximize output readability.
 Maximize source text readability.
 Minimize the number of source statements
 Minimize development time

ALGORITHMS USED:

Several algorithms can be employed in the prediction of mental health, specifically depression,
using data science and machine learning. The choice of algorithms depends on factors such as
the nature of the data, the complexity of the problem, and the interpretability required. Here are
explanations for some commonly used algorithms:

Logistic Regression:
38
Explanation: Logistic Regression is a binary classification algorithm that models the
probability of an event occurring. In the context of mental health prediction, it can estimate the
probability of an individual having depression based on input features.
Applicability: Well-suited for binary outcomes and provides interpretable coefficients.

Decision Trees:

Explanation: Decision Trees partition the data into subsets based on features, creating a tree-
like structure. Each leaf node represents a class (e.g., depressed or not depressed).
Applicability: Effective for capturing non-linear relationships and interactions in the data.

Random Forest:

Explanation: Random Forest is an ensemble learning method that constructs multiple decision
trees and combines their predictions. It improves predictive accuracy and mitigates overfitting.
Applicability: Robust performance and resilience to noise make it suitable for complex
datasets.
Support Vector Machines (SVM):
Explanation: SVM is a classification algorithm that finds the hyperplane that best separates
classes in high-dimensional space. It aims to maximize the margin between classes.
Applicability: Effective in high-dimensional spaces, especially when classes are not linearly
separable.
Neural Networks (Deep Learning):

Explanation: Neural Networks, especially deep learning models like Multilayer Perceptrons
(MLPs) or convolutional neural networks (CNNs), can learn intricate patterns in the data
through layers of interconnected nodes.
Applicability: Suitable for capturing complex relationships but may require large amounts of
data.

39
K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN):

Explanation: KNN classifies data points based on the majority class of their k-nearest
neighbors. It assumes that similar instances belong to the same class.
Applicability: Effective for small to medium-sized datasets and simple decision boundaries.
Gradient Boosting Algorithms (e.g., XGBoost):

Explanation: Gradient Boosting builds a series of weak learners (typically decision trees) and
combines their predictions to create a strong model. It minimizes errors iteratively.
Applicability: High predictive accuracy and resilience to overfitting.

Naive Bayes:
Explanation: Naive Bayes is a probabilistic algorithm based on Bayes' theorem. It assumes
independence between features, making it computationally efficient.
Applicability: Particularly effective for text and document classification tasks.

Each algorithm has its strengths and weaknesses, and the choice depends on the specific
characteristics of the dataset and the goals of the mental health prediction task. Model selection
may involve experimenting with multiple algorithms and assessing their performance using
metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver opera

TESTING

46
METHODS OF TESTING
Software testing is an examination that is carried out to offer information to stakeholders
regarding the quality of the product or service being tested. Software testing can also give
a corporation with an objective, unbiased picture of the software, allowing them to grasp
and comprehend the risks associated with software implementation. The process of
executing a program or application with the goal of detecting software bugs is known as
testing (errors or other defects). Software testing involves the execution of a software
component or system component to evaluate one or more properties of interest. In
general, these properties indicate the extent to which the component or system under test:
• meets the requirements that guided its design and development,
• Responds correctly to all kinds of inputs.
• performs its functions within an acceptable time.
• Is sufficiently usable.
• can be installed and run in its intended environments
• Achieves the general result
The testing steps are:
• Unit Testing.
• Validation Testing.
• Integration Testing.
• User Acceptance Testing.
• Output Testing.

47
Figure 8.1: Testing

7.1.1 UNIT TESING


Individual units or components of software are tested in unit testing, which is
a sort of software testing. The goal is to ensure that each unit of software code
works as intended. Unit Testing is done during the development (coding phase) of
an application by the developers. Unit tests are used to isolate a part of code and
ensure that it is correct. A singular function, method, procedure, module, or object
might be considered a unit. Unit testing is the first step in the testing process before
moving on to integration testing. Because software developers sometimes want to
save time by doing limited unit testing, this is a misconception because insufficient
unit testing leads to large costs in defect correction during System Testing,
Integration Testing, and even Beta Testing after the program has been constructed. It
saves time if proper unit testing is done early in the development process.

48
Table 8.1: Unit testing

7.1.2 VALIDATION TESTING


The process of determining if software meets stated business requirements during
the development process or at the end of the development process. Validation
testing guarantees that the product fits the needs of the customer. It can also be
defined as demonstrating that the product performs as expected when used in the
right setting.
7.1.3 INTIGRATION TESTING
Integration testing is a sort of testing in which software modules are conceptually
linked and tested as a unit. A typical software project is made up of several software
modules written by various programmers. The goal of this level of testing is to find
flaws in the way various software modules interact when they're combined.
Integration testing examines data transmission between these units. each software
module is unit tested, defects still exist for various reasons like
• In general, a Module is created by a single software developer whose
programming logic and understanding may differ from that of other
programmers. Integration testing is required to ensure that the software parts
work together.
• There's a good risk that the clients' needs will alter throughout module
development. These new needs may not be unit tested necessitating system
integration testing.

49
7.1.4 USER ACCEPTANCE TESTING
User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is a sort of testing in which the end user or customer
verifies and accepts the software system before it is moved to the production
environment. After functional, integration, and system testing, UAT is performed in
the final step of testing. An acceptance test's performance is essentially the user's
show. User motivation and knowledge are essential for the system's proper
operation. The aforesaid tests were carried out on the newly designed system, which
met all of the requirements. The following test case designs were used for all of the
above testing Methodologies.
