Abstract: Psychotic disorder is one of the major health problems found in humans. Mostly every age group of the population is affected by a psychotic disorder called depression. Depression causes a person with low mood and loss of interest, ideal in working time, and irregularities in sleep and eating habits. The analysis of emotional feelings behind the text is detected by machine learning technology called sentimental analysis or psychological analysis. In this study, we took Reddit as the social platform to collect datasets and studied to know the hidden behaviour of the individual using machine learning algorithm logistic regression, naive Bayes Decision Tree, XGBoost, and deep learning classifier CNN, maximum entropy. The classifiers are first studied individually on the dataset, then the proposed model is created using the classifier logistic regression, multilayer perceptron, and XGBoost with an accuracy of approximately 93% and precision of 95%.
