Abstract:
Depression affects most people in modern life. Inadequate treatment even leads to many people
taking their own lives. Early detection and treatment of depression in patients are very easy to
achieve. We are unable to make the finest decision at the right moment since we are unaware of
the severity of the depression. The foundation of a nation is its pupils. Students educate and
better their nation, representing it to the outside world. A number of things, including the
difficulties Bangladeshi teenagers face in their schooling, contribute to depression. Our study's
goals are to ascertain the frequency of depressed symptoms, the factors that contribute to them,
and methods for lowering depression among college students. In this study, an online student
depression dataset have been used for predicting the depressed or not. Two class have been
consisting this dataset. Multiple algorithms have been run on this data. and have reached the
maximum level of precision. This initiative will assist us in determining depression levels. To
determine their degree of despair, we employ a form of algorithm. Five algorithms have been
selected for this study. XGBoost classifier, Random Forest algorithm, SVM, Naive Bayes, and
Decision Tree classification are among them. The forecast made by the XGBoost classifier
performs the best overall. The algorithm that yields the greatest results for this research is
98.70%
