Mental health disorders may cause severe consequences for countries’ economies and health. Identifying early signs of these disorders is vital. The state-of-the-art research in identifying mental health disorder patterns from textual data, uses hand-labeled training sets, especially when a domain expert’s knowledge is required to analyze various symptoms in a patient. This task could be time-consuming and expensive. To address this challenge, in this paper, we study and analyze the various clinical and non-clinical approaches to identifying mental health disorders. We leverage the domain knowledge and expertise in cognitive science to build a domain-specific Knowledge Base for the mental health disorder concepts and patterns. We present a weaker form of supervision by facilitating and generating training data from a domain-specific Knowledge Base. We adopt a typical scenario for analyzing social media to identify depression symptoms from the textual content generated by social users.
