Abstract in brief

This systematic review summarizes past studies that use machine learning (ML) methods to detect depression through social media text data, highlighting the potential of these approaches as tools for public mental health.
The review analyzed 17 relevant studies, with most employing supervised ML techniques, and identified key challenges such as sampling bias, ethical concerns, privacy issues, and the need for better prediction methods.
The findings suggest that ML techniques can effectively identify depression on social media, but further research is necessary to address current limitations and improve their application in mental health practices.
