Mental Health Condition Prediction from Survey Responses

Project Summary

This portfolio view condenses the original notebook into a cleaner story for the web UI. The analysis focuses on a survey-style mental-health dataset, showing how the responses are structured, how the target classes are distributed, and what qualitative symptom patterns appear across the labeled conditions.

Dataset Overview

The original notebook reports 5,000 survey records across 13 columns. Each row contains free-text or categorical responses describing sleep, concentration, anxiety, motivation, appetite, panic symptoms, and related mental-health indicators, with one labeled condition as the target.

Data Cleaning Notes

The raw dataset includes one malformed concatenated question column that is dropped before analysis. After that cleanup, the notebook keeps the symptom questionnaire intact and proceeds with exploratory analysis on the multiclass target.

Exploratory Analysis

A useful first pass is to inspect the class balance. A portfolio notebook benefits from showing this explicitly because it immediately tells the reader whether the downstream classifier is likely to face severe imbalance or whether macro metrics are more appropriate.

Qualitative Response Patterns

The original notebook continues by reviewing response themes per diagnosis. In condensed form, the main takeaways are:

PTSD: strong anxiety, hyperarousal, and sleep disruption appear frequently in the response patterns.
Depression: persistent sadness, low interest, and fatigue become the dominant symptom cluster.
ADHD: concentration problems and difficulty sustaining focus stand out most clearly.
Borderline Personality Disorder and related conditions show more emotional volatility and interpersonal strain in the survey text.

Portfolio Takeaway

Even in a lightweight survey project, presenting the table shape, feature cardinality, and class balance makes the notebook look much more disciplined. This cleaned version keeps the original executed artifacts that are already available in the repository and reorganizes them into a tighter EDA narrative for the portfolio viewer.
