• Abstract summary: State-of-the-art NLP techniques demonstrate strong potential to automatically detect mental health issues from text. We developed a novel emotion-annotated mental health corpus (EmoMent) consisting of 2802 Facebook posts extracted from two South Asian countries. EmoMent corpus achieved'very good' inter-annotator agreement of 98.3% (i.e. % with two or more agreement) and Fleiss' Kappa of 0.82.

• Abstract: People often utilise online media (e.g., Facebook, Reddit) as a platform to express their psychological distress and seek support. State-of-the-art NLP techniques demonstrate strong potential to automatically detect mental health issues from text. Research suggests that mental health issues are reflected in emotions (e.g., sadness) indicated in a person's choice of language. Therefore, we developed a novel emotion-annotated mental health corpus (EmoMent), consisting of 2802 Facebook posts (14845 sentences) extracted from two South Asian countries - Sri Lanka and India. Three clinical psychology postgraduates were involved in annotating these posts into eight categories, including 'mental illness' (e.g., depression) and emotions (e.g., 'sadness', 'anger'). EmoMent corpus achieved 'very good' inter-annotator agreement of 98.3% (i.e. % with two or more agreement) and Fleiss' Kappa of 0.82. Our RoBERTa based models achieved an F1 score of 0.76 and a macro-averaged F1 score of 0.77 for the first task (i.e. predicting a mental health condition from a post) and the second task (i.e. extent of association of relevant posts with the categories defined in our taxonomy), respectively.

  Major depressive disorder is a prevalent and serious mental health condition that negatively impacts your emotions, thoughts, actions, and overall perception of the world. It is complicated to determine whether a person is depressed due to the symptoms of depression not apparent. People who are depressed express discomfort, sadness and they may speak slowly, trembly, and lose emotion in their voices. In this study, we proposed the Dynamic Convolutional Block Attention Module (Dynamic-CBAM) to utilize with in an Attention-GRU Network to classify the emotions by analyzing the audio signal of humans.

  We can analyze sentiment on social media posts to detect positive, negative, or emotional behavior toward society. One of the key challenges in sentiment analysis is to identify depressed text from social media text that is a root cause of mental ill-health. In this paper, we apply natural language processing techniques on Facebook texts for conducting emotion analysis focusing on depression.
