  • Prabhsimar Kaur , Vishal Bharti and Srabanti Maji

Abstract

With the world population growing at a rapid pace, a large number of people are getting prone to chronic psychological disorders. The advancements in computer technology and machine learning approach are making healthcare more accessible and affordable for people. Early diagnosis of psychological disorders is also made possible with the aid of machine learning tools, thereby helping in improving a patient’s quality of life. In this section, we have tried to explain the classification of techniques in machine learning - supervised, unsupervised, and semisupervised - and how effectively these techniques are used in psychological disorder prediction. The accuracy levels of each technique have been reported. The recent advancements in machine learning techniques for predicting disorders have been explained. Also the challenges being faced while prediction of psychological disorders have been studied and explained in this chapter.
