Abstract

Speech analysis can provide a potential non-invasive and objective means of assessing and monitoring an individual's mental health. Most studies to date have focused on cross-sectional analysis and have not explored the benefits of speech analysis as a longitudinal monitoring tool that can assist in the management of chronic conditions such as major depressive disorder (MDD). Objectively monitoring for shifts in depression symptom severity levels over time presents a notable challenge, which we address through an automated approach using longitudinal English and Spanish speech samples collected from a clinical population. We employ time-frequency representations and linguistic embeddings to enhance the early recognition of alterations in depression levels in individuals with MDD. We investigate the suitability of using siamese-based training for modeling these changes, intending to enable personalized and adaptive interventions.
