Abstract:

Depression has been defined as a silent disease that affects everyone regardless of physical or biological state. More than 40% of the population is openly afflicted by the disease. Depression has become a troubling trend, affecting not just a person’s psychological well-being but also his or her physical well-being. Electroencephalography (EEG), for example, may identify the effects of depression in the brain. Doctors and researchers can use the tests to analyse the electrical activity of the brain. The electroencephalography signals are used to analyse depression in the proposed work. Data Collection, Data Preprocessing, Feature Extraction, and Classification are the tasks. In the procedure, three main sorts of data are employed. A total of five machine learning algorithms are deployed. Each dataset is compared to the associated algorithms. In all three datasets, the Random Forest method outperformed the other algorithms in terms of accuracy. Furthermore, depression is divided into three categories during the procedure.

I. Introduction

The brain is one of the human body’s biggest and most complicated organs. It is made up of around 100 billion nerves that communicate through trillions of synapses. The brain is a marvellous three-pound organ that directs all body functions, analyses external information, and embodies the essence of the intellect and soul. Many things are controlled by the brain, including intelligence, creativity, emotion, and memory. The cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem comprise the brain, which is protected within the skull. The brain receives information from our five senses: sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing, and it frequently receives information from many senses at the same time. It assembles the messages for us in a meaningful way and can retain the information in our memory. The brain controls our thoughts, memory, and speech, as well as the movement of our arms and legs and the operation of many of our body’s organs.
