Abstract

A machine learning-based technique for the detection of unipolar and bipolar depression disorders is developed and implemented in this paper. Unipolar depression and bipolar depression share almost similar clinical symptom profile, and hence, the diagnosis of the type of depression is a great challenge. Disturbances in motoric activity may be a useful way to detect pathological mental states. Hence, a unique motor activity database (Depresjon) which is collected from patients suffering from unipolar depression, bipolar depression and healthy subjects is employed in this work. Performance of the proposed method is evaluated using sensitivity and specificity metrics. Results show a sensitivity value of 0.98 and specificity value of 0.88 for unipolar depression and sensitivity value of 0.88 and specificity of 0.98 for bipolar depression.
