4. Problem Statement
When looking through depression-related literature, the authors came
across a few claims that purported to define depressed people and their
involvement on social media. The use of absolute terms, negative emotion
in tweets, the quantity of postings made by each user, and the intervals
between posts were all examined by the authors. The time of posting is
another interesting finding about depressive users on social media,
however these claims were already investigated in 2019 research by
Banovic et al. [15], and they were found to be unimportant, at least
for this dataset. Researchers may observe a number of features and their
behaviours in the material in this area. The data analysis demonstrated
that several hypotheses do in fact point to significant differences
between groups that are depressed and those that are not. Absolutist
terms (such as absolutely, entirely, completely, etc.) don’t differ
significantly between groups, but average words per post and the number
of comments per user do [16].
