Workshop Overview
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is one of the most prevalent mood disorders, affecting more than 264 million people worldwide. It has become so common that 1 in 15 adults is affected by it in a given year. Depression affects the way one feels, thinks and acts. It leads to sadness and feelings of anhedonia i.e. loss of interest in activities one once enjoyed, leading to decreased task performance and productivity. In itâs extreme form it can even lead to suicide which is the fourth leading cause of death in 15-29 year-olds and according to the World Health Organization close to 700,000 people die due to suicide every year. Entanglement of various factors like age, gender, culture, socio-economic status, education level, etc. in the manifestation and maintenance of depression makes detection and treatment even more challenging as each case can be unique and requires detailed study. Another major concern pertaining to depression is that even after it has been diagnosed and cured there is still a high chance of relapse in the patients.
A lot of work is being done to understand MDD in the field of psychology and cognitive neuroscience and analogously lot of work is being done to classify MDD and healthy individuals using machine/deep learning. However, since the problem is too complex and requires expertise in various domains, collaborations are required to develop tools that can be used in real-life. In this workshop we bring experts from various relevant domains who have been working towards understnading MDD to not only discuss their work but also to talk about the problems faced and how AI can help in resolving them.
