| Summary: | Abstract People of all demographics are impacted by mental illness, which has become a widespread and international health problem. Effective treatment and support for mental illnesses depend on early discovery and precise diagnosis. Notably, delayed diagnosis may lead to suicidal thoughts, destructive behaviour, and death. Manual diagnosis is time-consuming and laborious. With the advent of AI, this research aims to develop a novel mental health disorder detection network with the objective of maximum accuracy and early discovery. For this reason, this study presents a novel framework for the early detection of mental illness disorders using a multi-modal approach combining speech and behavioral data. This framework preprocesses and analyzes two distinct datasets to handle missing values, normalize data, and eliminate outliers. The proposed NeuroVibeNet combines Improved Random Forest (IRF) and Light Gradient-Boosting Machine (LightGBM) for behavioral data and Hybrid Support Vector Machine (SVM) and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) for voice data. Finally, a weighted voting mechanism is applied to consolidate predictions. The proposed model achieves robust performance and a competitive accuracy of 99.06% in distinguishing normal and pathological conditions. This framework validates the feasibility of multi-modal data integration for reliable and early mental illness detection. |
