Convolutional Neural Network for Depression and Schizophrenia Detection.

: This study presents a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) approach for detecting depression and schizophrenia using motor activity patterns represented as images. Participants' motor activity data were captured and transformed into visual representations, enabling advanced computer vision techniques for the classification of these mental disorders. The model's performance was evaluated using a three-fold cross-validation, achieving an average accuracy of 95%, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed approach in accurately identifying mental health conditions. The objective of the study is to develop a model capable of identifying different mental disorders by processing motor data using CNN in order to provide a support tool to areas specialized in the diagnosis and efficient treatment of these psychological conditions. : The methodology involved segmenting and transforming motor activity data into images, followed by a CNN training and testing phase on these visual representations. This innovative approach enables the identification of subtle motor behavior patterns, potentially indicative of specific mental states, without invasive interventions or self-reporting. : The results suggest that CNNs can capture discriminative features in motor activity to differentiate between individuals with depression, schizophrenia, and those without mental health diagnoses. : These findings underscore the potential of computer vision and deep neural network techniques to contribute to early, non-invasive mental health disorder diagnosis, with significant implications for developing mental health support tools.
