Abstract

A recent British study of people between the ages of 14 and 35 has shown that social media has a negative impact on mental health. The purpose of the paper is to detect people with mental disorders' behavior in social media in order to help Twitter users in overcoming their mental health problems such as anxiety, phobia, depression, paranoia, etc. For this, the author used text mining and machine learning algorithms (naïve Bayes, k-nearest neighbours) to analyse tweets. The obtained results were validated using different evaluation measures such as f-measure, recall, precision, entropy, etc.
