• Abstract: While depression has been studied via multimodal non-verbal behavioural cues, head motion behaviour has not received much attention as a biomarker. This study demonstrates the utility of fundamental head-motion units, termed \emph{kinemes}, for depression detection by adopting two distinct approaches, and employing distinctive features: (a) discovering kinemes from head motion data corresponding to both depressed patients and healthy controls, and (b) learning kineme patterns only from healthy controls, and computing statistics derived from reconstruction errors for both the patient and control classes. Employing machine learning methods, we evaluate depression classification performance on the \emph{BlackDog} and \emph{AVEC2013} datasets. Our findings indicate that: (1) head motion patterns are effective biomarkers for detecting depressive symptoms, and (2) explanatory kineme patterns consistent with prior findings can be observed for the two classes. Overall, we achieve peak F1 scores of 0.79 and 0.82, respectively, over BlackDog and AVEC2013 for binary classification over episodic \emph{thin-slices}, and a peak F1 of 0.72 over videos for AVEC2013.

  Depression and suicidal ideation, in particular, lack objective biomarkers, with screening and diagnosis primarily relying on self-reports and clinical interviews. We investigated eye tracking as a potential marker modality for screening purposes. We recorded eye-tracking sequences from 126 young adults as they read and responded to affective sentences, and subsequently developed a deep learning framework to predict their clinical status.

  Depression is a complex mental disorder characterized by a diverse range of observable and measurable indicators that go beyond traditional subjective assessments. Recent research has increasingly focused on objective, passive, and continuous monitoring using wearable devices to gain more precise insights into the physiological and behavioral aspects of depression. In this study, we leverage wearable devices to predict depression subtypes-specifically unipolar and bipolar depression-aiming to identify distinctive biomarkers that could enhance diagnostic precision and support personalized treatment strategies.

  We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of data from 10,129 participants recruited from a UK-based general population. Participants shared wearable (Fitbit) data and self-reported questionnaires on depression (PHQ-8), anxiety (GAD-7), and mood via a study app. We observed significant associations between the severity of depression and anxiety with several factors, including mood, age, gender, BMI, sleep patterns, physical activity, and heart rate.
