Abstract— Depression is considered as one of the main psychological well-being issues in this day and age. Affecting
contrarily on physical wellbeing, social consideration and scholarly accomplishment, one's emotional wellness issue remain a
critical general medical issue. This examination accepts to prevent emotional wellness issues from creating and plans to spare
people and families from misery and spare huge assets for the wellbeing framework. The initial step to begin with the treatment
procedure is to recognize wretchedness. In this model tweets from twitter is examined with the assistance of Natural Language
Processing and Python code. Tweepy and TextBlob are utilized for further usage.

Keywords— Natural Language Processing, Depression, Twitter, Python, Tweepy, TextBlob

I. INTRODUCTION There are two principal kinds of dejection, real

Depression is a mental disorder which can impair many
facets of human life. [1] Depression is the regular cold of
mental issue. The vast majority will be influenced by
despondency in their lives either specifically or in a
roundabout way, through a companion or relative. Disarray
about wretchedness is ordinary, e.g., with respect to what
despondency precisely is and what makes it not quite the
same as simply feeling down.
discouragement (or significant burdensome confusion) and
dysthymic issue. An individual determined to have Major
Depression has encountered the recently referenced side
effects for longer than about fourteen days. These side effects
either can happen more than once (called long-winded) or
just once, yet they are normally extreme. A Dysthymia
conclusion implies that burdensome indications are less
serious, and they have been available for no less than 2 years
on more days than not.

Melancholy indications can change from mellow to serious
and can include:
1. Feeling dismal or having a discouraged state of mind
2. Loss of intrigue or joy in exercises once delighted in
3. Changes in craving — weight reduction or addition
irrelevant to consuming less calories
4. Trouble dozing or resting excessively
5. Loss of vitality or expanded weariness
6. Increase in purposeless physical action (e.g., hand-
wringing or pacing)or moderated developments and
discourse (activities detectable by others)
7. Feeling useless or blameworthy
8. Difficulty reasoning, thinking or deciding
Side effects should last somewhere around about fourteen
days for analysis of misery.
People with bipolar turmoil additionally show side effects of
wretchedness. Bipolar turmoil is a serious disease in which
inclinations swing between 'up' states and 'down' states.
Bipolar 'up' states, called craziness, are described by a
euphoric (happy, lively) inclination, hyperactivity, a positive,
far-reaching point of view, vainglory (a hyper-expanded
feeling of confidence), and a feeling that the sky is the limit.
An individual in the 'down' condition of bipolar issue
encounters at least one of the burdensome indications
referenced beforehand.
The diagnosis is done primarily by the self-reporting of
patients or the clinician’s analysis of the severity of the
symptoms. [3] Treatment of gloom is impossible until and
except if it is recognized. The zone which we took to
recognize the despondency is the web based life. Individuals
share their own life occasions in web-based social
networking through photos, recordings or content posts.

correspondence offers a group of attributes which settles on
it the best decision for doing information examination, for
feeling AI.
Content information has accompanying advantages:
1. Simple to deal with
2. Basic and snappy to pre-process
3. Quantitative and subjective accessibility
4. Fundamentally littler memory stockpiling size thought
about to image and video information
Rest of the paper is organized as follows
Section I contains the introduction about depression and its
symptoms detected. Section II covers the complete
methodology of the model. Section III include the graph
demonstrating the actual result. Section IV talks about the
conclusion and the future aspects.
II. METHODOLOGY
To comprehend the total model quickly and properly we
partitioned it into three noteworthy division which is
clarified as pursues
A. Establishments
Before beginning with the usage procedure we have to
introduce the accompanying.
1. Python: Latest form of Python ought to be introduced.
2. Tweepy: For the official Twitter API Tweepy is the
python
customer Install it utilizing following pip order:
pip introduce tweepy
3. TextBlob:Textblob is the python library for handling
printed information Install it utilizing following pip
direction:
pip introduce textblob
B Authentication
So as to bring the tweets through Twitter API first, we need
to enlist an application through our Twitter account. When
we get the authorization to bring the tweets Copy ‘Consumer
Key’, ‘Consumer Secret’, 'Access token' and 'Access Token
Secret' which we will use in our further usage.
C. Usage:
This paper pursue these 3 noteworthy strides in our program:
1. Authorize twitter API customer.
2. Make a GET ask for to Twitter API to get tweets for a
specific question.
3. Parse the tweets. Group each tweet as positive, negative
or nonpartisan.
As a matter of first importance, we make a TwitterClient
class. In get_tweets work, we use:

Vol.7(4), Apr 2019, E-ISSN: 2347-2693
fetched_tweets = self.api.search(q = query,count = check )
to call the Twitter API to bring tweets.
In get_tweet_sentiment we use textblob module.
TextBlob is really an abnormal state library worked over best
of NLTK library. First we call clean_tweet technique to
evacuate joins, uncommon characters, and so on from the
tweet utilizing some basic regex. At that point, as we pass
tweet to make a TextBlob object, following preparation is
done over content by textblob library:
1.Tokenization: Tokenization is the demonstration of
separating a grouping of strings into pieces, for example,
words, catchphrases, expressions, images and different
components called tokens. Tokens can be singular words,
expresses or even entire sentences. During the time spent
tokenization, a few characters like accentuation marks are
disposed of. The tokens turn into the contribution for another
procedure like parsing and content mining. Tokenization is
used in computer science, where it plays a large part in the
process of lexical analysis.
2.Stop words Removal: A stop word is a regularly utilized
word, (for example, "the", "an", "an", "in") that an internet
searcher has been modified to overlook, both when ordering
passages for seeking and while recovering them as the
aftereffect of an inquiry question.
We would not need these words occupying room in our
database, or occupying significant preparing time. For this,
we can evacuate them effectively, by putting away a
rundown of words that you consider to be stop words. NLTK
(Natural Language Toolkit) in python has a rundown of stop
words put away in 16 distinct dialects
3. Do POS: Part of Speech (therefore alluded to as POS)
Tags are helpful for structure parse trees, which are utilized
in structure NERs (most named substances are Nouns) and
removing relations between words. POS Tagging is likewise
fundamental for structure lemmatizers which are utilized to
decrease a word to its root structure. ( grammatical form)
labeling of the tokens and select just noteworthy
highlights/tokens like descriptive words, verb modifiers, and
so on.
After the above preparing pass the tokens to a feeling
classifier which arranges the tweet conclusion as positive,
negative or nonpartisan by relegating it an extremity between
- 1.0 to 1.0.
III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
When we pass the tokens to a sentiment classifier then it
classify the tweets based on its polarity and categorize it as
positive, negative or neutral. In this model we analyzed the
tweets of a particular group of people for a couple of days

and constantly check the ratio of their positive, negative and
neutral tweets which leads us to the conclusion that if we get
more percentage of negative tweets than the person is more
likely to be under depression and should take the preventive
measures.
We also concluded with a general pie chart describing the
complete scenario (Fig 1).
After analyzing the tweets of a particular group of people for
a couple of days we got to know that there are some tweets
with major negative polarity and this is the area where we
should concern about. In case of constantly posting a
negative tweet the person should be taken under proper
guidance and help. As a result, the graph (Fig. 2) which
shows their mood swing (taken as a symptom) described in
their tweets taken under keen observation.
Figure 1. Ratio of positive, negative and neutral tweets.
Positive tweets
Negative tweets
Figure 2. Analysis of tweets
On further analysis the tweets of every individual is keenly
observed and studied. Following is the screenshot of the
output which is detected.

IV. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE
Emotion Artificial Intelligence is giving an enormous chance
to youthful scientists to prosper around there and help the
general public for the better tomorrow. Sooner rather than
later this exploration territory can turn out to be
progressively customized to accomplish the exact outcome
and can serve the general population with its caring
intension. Aside from positive and negative sentiments
discovery capacity to distinguish mockery, metaphor can
likewise be taken under investigation in future. It can
likewise be utilized to examine the feelings of the group
which can prompt better business benefits.
Wretchedness is one of driving emotional well-being issue
winning on the planet which needs to take under genuine
consideration.
As indicated by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), 7.6 percent of individuals beyond 12 2
years old sorrow in any 2-week time frame. This is
considerable and demonstrates the size of the issue. As
indicated by the World Health Organization (WHO), misery
is the most well-known ailment worldwide and the main
source of incapacity. They gauge than 350 million
individuals is influenced by melancholy, all around. Along
these lines the time has come where it needs to taken under
genuine note.
