An Explainable Approach Based on Emotion and Sentiment Features for Detecting People with Mental Disorders on Social Networks
Mental disorders are a global problem that widely affects different segments of the population. Diagnosis and treatment are difficult to obtain, as there are not enough specialists on the matter, and mental health is not yet a common topic among the population. The computer science field has propose...
