Framework for behavioral disorder detection using machine learning and application of virtual cognitive behavioral therapy in COVID-19 pandemic

ABSTRACT

In this modern world, people are becoming more self-centered and unsocial. On the other hand, people are stressed, be -coming more anxious during COVID-19 pandemic situation and exhibiting symptoms of behavioral disorder. To measure the symptoms of behavioral disorder, usually psychiatrist use long hour sessions and inputs from specific questionnaire. This process is time consuming and sometime is ineffective to detect the right behavioral disorder. Also, reserved people sometime hesitate to follow this process. We have created a digital framework which can detect behavioral disorder and prescribe virtual cognitive behavioral therapy (vCBT) for recovery. By using this framework people can input required data that are highly responsible for the three behavioral disorders namely depression, anxiety and internet addiction. We have applied machine learning technique to detect specific behavioral disorder from samples. This system guides the user with basic understanding and treatment through vCBT from anywhere any time which would potentially be the stepping-stone for the user to be conscious and pursue right treatment.
