Abstract:
The rise of social media has created an unprecedented volume of textual data that can be harnessed to gain insights into public mental health. This research paper explores the application of text mining and sentiment analysis techniques to social media data, aiming to identify mental health trends, inform intervention strategies, and deepen the understanding of psychological phenomena. The paper reviews current methodologies, presents key findings from recent studies, discusses ethical considerations, and suggests future research directions. By analyzing language patterns and sentiment in social media posts, researchers can detect signals of mental health conditions, track population-level trends, and support targeted interventions. However, these approaches also raise important questions about privacy, bias, and the responsible use of data. The integration of advanced natural language processing (NLP) models, real-time monitoring tools, and multimodal analysis holds promise for the future of mental health research and practice.
