      <abstract>
        <p>Conducted analysis of the known methods and tools for determining mental state of patients revealed that despite the significant number of available methods and tools for determining mental state of patients, evidence-based methods and tools (for example, using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5)) are currently underdeveloped. For the design and development of a mobile-oriented multimodal information system for determining patient's mental state, MentSDet, we will use the criteria for determining and classifying mental disorders (in particular, anxiety disorders, depression disorders, trauma- and stressor-related disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders) using DSM-5. MentSDet, a mobile-oriented multimodal information system for determining the patient's mental state, developed in this article, offers a questionnaire(s) to the patient or his or her family to determine the presence of a specific mental disorder and, on the basis of the received answers, sends the patient, his/her family and psychiatrist notifications about the presence/absence of a particular mental disorder, and the mental disorder's type and severity, i.e., it allows not to miss the onset of the disease, the beginning of the exacerbation period, or to assess the effectiveness of treatment. The proposed information system is an automated and objective diagnostic tool for the early detection of mental disorders.</p>

      <title>1. Introduction</title>
      <p>
        Mental health (as a state of wellbeing where an individual is capable of fulfilling their
potential and managing everyday stress effectively, work effectively and productively, and
contribute to the life of their community [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>
        ]) affects the physical state of the body, social
relationships, quality of life, etc. Talking about mental health can be difficult, but recognizing
the problem means that there is a way to solve it. It is very important to get rid of the shame
and fear that often accompany mental health topics, because this increases the likelihood that
someone experiencing mental health issues will seek help when they need it. Taking care of
mental health can increase productivity and self-esteem, improve relationships with people,
and prevent the development of mental disorders [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>
        ]. In last years, the prevalence of mental
health disorders has been steadily on the rise. The increasing prevalence of mental health
disorders presents a significant challenge in today’s world.
      </p>
      <p>
        According to WHO estimates: around one in eight individuals worldwide experiences a
mental health disorder, there are currently 970 million people with mental disorders, 129
million people have a disability due to mental disorders, every year around 1 million people
take their own lives, and one in four families has at least one member living with a mental
health disorder [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>
        ]. The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a global mental health crisis,
heightening both immediate and long-term stress factors and profoundly affecting the mental
well-being of millions around the world – for example, anxiety and depressive disorders are
estimated to have increased by more than 25% during the first year of the pandemic [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>
        At this point in time, mental disorders are widespread, undertreated and under-resourced –
Fig. 1 [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>
        ].
The widespreadness of mental disorders by their types in the world is shown in Fig. 2 [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>
        ]. It is
clear that anxiety disorders (31%) and depressive disorders (28.9%) are the most prevalent.
      </p>
      <p>
        The war, in which Ukraine has been living for 10 years, takes away people’s lives and health,
separates them, forces them to leave their homes and jobs, and completely changes their daily
routine. Because of the war, people have the experience of unavoidable losses, living under
occupation, being in captivity, and being subjected to violence. All this affects their mental
state. The problem of mental health is even more acute for combatants and veterans.
According to WHO estimates, one in five people in Ukraine already lives with some form of
mental disorder [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>
        ]. According to statistics, 15 million Ukrainian citizens are in need of
professional psychological assistance, including 3-4 million who need medication [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>
        ]. In
addition, 90% of veterans and their family members need psychological assistance, including
about 30% who have posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive-compulsive disorders.
      </p>
      <p>
        Mental disorders need to be detected at an early stage to prevent negative health
consequences and to find effective treatment quickly [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>
        ]. Incorrect diagnoses and treatment
delays can lead to the development of conditions such as major depressive disorder and
bipolar disorder. Misdiagnoses may result in unsuitable therapies, while delays in treatment
can worsen symptoms, hinder daily functioning, and reduce the effectiveness of interventions.
If mental health problems are recognized at an early stage, they can be dealt with more
quickly and easily. In this case, they are less likely to affect a person’s relationships with loved
ones, work or school, or disrupt daily life [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref6 ref7">6, 7</xref>
        ]. In addition, the sooner a person receives
qualified support for mental health conditions, the more likely they are to be able to cope with
their condition. Early detection of mental health disorders is important for preventing the
worst outcomes, reducing the risk of suicide, increasing the effectiveness of therapy,
improving overall well-being, and providing cost-effective treatments [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8 ref9">8, 9</xref>
        ]. Mental health
screening involves a comprehensive approach that includes: observation of the patient,
history taking from the patient, history taking from those around the patient, and the results
of additional screening methods [10-12].
      </p>
      <p>Given that information systems and technologies make modern medicine more accessible,
qualitative and functional, and that they provide patients with greater opportunities for
accurate diagnosis and monitoring of their health (including mental health) [13-15], that
medical information systems and technologies facilitate the possibility of continuous
monitoring of patients’ health status as needed [16-18], that Conventional diagnostic methods
largely depend on psychiatrists’ subjective evaluations, highlighting the crucial need for
developing automated and objective diagnostic tools [19-21], then for the early detection of
mental disorders, a mobile-oriented information system is relevant, which will offer the
patient a test to assess his or her mental state, which will vary depending on the diagnosis
(since the system is designed not so much for self-diagnosis as for cooperation with a
psychiatrist), send notifications to the patient, his or her relatives and the psychiatrist about
the beginning of the exacerbation period, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment (assess
whether the symptoms have disappeared after the start of treatment).</p>
    </sec>
    <sec id="sec-2">
      <title>2. Review of existing methods and tools</title>
      <p>Let’s examine the established methods, tools, which used for determining the mental state of
patients.</p>
      <p>Paper [19] presents novel computer aided depression detection system IntervoxNet, which
is designed for analyzing the interview audio with using the convolutional neural network
(BERT-CNN). IntervoxNet is an effective and efficient tool designed for the rapid screening of
depression through interviews. The paper [22] discusses the application of BERT, an
innovative deep-learning transformer model, for detecting depression levels using textual data
as input. Meanwhile, the study in paper [23] evaluates the effectiveness of three natural
language processing models – BERT, GPT-3.5, and GPT-4 – by comparing their performance
on three distinct datasets for identifying depression from text data. The research [24] shows
the use of machine learning-based models for accurate depression diagnosis. The primary goal
of this research is to improve early diagnosis, risk assessment, and patient care in the field of
depression detection utilizing predictive models. The paper [25] presents a novel approach for
the automatic identification of early-stage adolescent depression using advanced deep
multimodal learning techniques. The unimodal features are extracted from
electroencephalography(EEG), electrocardiogram(ECG), speech signals and subsequently
fused into a comprehensive multimodal feature set for binary classification.</p>
      <p>The paper [26] introduces a new method for detecting and preventing student depression
using machine learning techniques, which focuses on face recognition using Convolutional
Neural Networks (CNN) and voice recognition. The proposed system analyzes students’ facial
expressions and voice patterns to identify signs of depression.</p>
      <p>Using pretrained language models is critical in data-scarce research areas, such as early
detection of mental health issues. Pretrained language model MentalHealthBERT use the
content about anorexia, depression and self-harm from Reddit social media [27].</p>
      <p>The paper [28] examines the use of various techniques based on natural language
processing and transformer-based techniques, such as TF-IDF, n-grams, BERT, RoBERTa, and
ALBERT, foe analyzing the textual data from diverse social media platforms towards mental
health and stress prediction.</p>
      <p>The paper [29] explores two machine learning algorithms (K-nearest neighbors (KNN) and
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN)) for mental health prediction based on the data analysis on
mental health patients’ demographics, health, and long-term habits.</p>
      <p>Using advanced artificial intelligence techniques and machine learning algorithms (LSTM
and SVM), the system developed in [30] effectively analyzes users’ social media behavior for
determination of depression, is a tool designed for the early detection of mental health issues,
providing valuable insights into individuals’ mental well-being through the analysis of textual
emotional intelligence. The study [31] introduces a new machine-learning model called
ALBTCN for identifying suicide risk based on posts from social media platforms such as Twitter
(X) and Reddit, utilizing both natural language processing and advanced deep learning
techniques. In study [32], text classification models are developed to predict the severity of
suicidal ideation, alongside a prototype web application designed to evaluate ideation severity
and support self-therapy using cognitive behavioral therapy. Furthermore, research in [33]
presents a framework for detecting suicidal ideation on social media, utilizing machine
learning and genetic algorithms.</p>
      <p>The authors of [34] introduce LLMental, a tool designed to classify mental disorders such
as depression, excessive stress, and social phobia through the analysis of social media posts
using modified large language models (including PHI-2, Mistral, Flan-T5, and LLaMA 2).</p>
      <p>In diagnosing epilepsy, electroencephalography (EEG) signals are utilized. However, the
human analysis and interpretation of these signals for the early detection of epilepsy can lead
to errors. The study in [35] explores the analysis of EEG signals related to epileptic seizures
using proposed automated methods, FCM-PSO-LSTM and PSO-LSTM, aimed at improving the
early detection of stress and anxiety-induced seizures.</p>
      <p>Paper [36] reviews various deep learning algorithms for EEG analysis, focusing especially
on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTMs)
for early-stage detection and assessment of mental stress.</p>
      <p>The study in [37] proposes a machine learning approach to detect stress in natural settings
using wearable sensors that track vital signs, such as heart rate and physical activity.
Additionally, the study [38] investigates the effects of applying two common text
representation techniques – Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) and
Bagof-Words (BoW) – to the task of stress detection.</p>
      <p>The research presented in [39] introduces an innovative technology known as Effective
Stress Detection. This technology leverages ontology to identify signs of stress among social
media users. By employing ontology, it can comprehensively analyze user-generated content
for indicators of stress. Additionally, this approach initiates necessary preventive measures
that could help prevent users from falling into severe depression or even contemplating
suicide.</p>
      <p>In [40], the authors collected data on patients with current depressive symptoms using a
detailed digital mental health questionnaire, based on the World Health Organization’s World
Mental Health Composite International Diagnostic Interview. They trained and validated
gradient-boosted tree algorithms to identify key predictors of misdiagnosis, providing a
machine learning-based perspective on the complex factors that may lead to diagnostic errors.</p>
      <p>Paper [41] presents a dialogue system (chatbot) developed in collaboration with a clinical
psychiatrist. This system assesses individuals’ mental states and provides personalized
feedback tailored to the severity of their mental health issues.</p>
      <p>The review [42] examines the mobile-based applications with cognitive tests for dementia
early detection. In paper [43], dementia is predicted using MRI images, for which three
distinct datasets of MRI images have been compiled. To enhance prediction accuracy, several
machine learning models are employed, including K-Nearest Neighbors, XGBoost, Support
Vector Machine, Random Forest Algorithm (RFA), and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN).
The performance of these models is validated through statistical analysis. Authors of [44]
propose a methodology for late-life depression automated classification based on an advanced
diffusion tensor imaging segmentation framework and artificial intelligence for early
detection late-life depression and dementia.</p>
      <p>The authors of [45] developed an Adaptive Multi-End Fusion Attention Mechanism
tailored for extracting information about the human body within a deep learning framework.
This mechanism relies on human expressions, postures, and environmental factors to
effectively assess an individual’s mental health.</p>
      <p>Paper [46] examines human personality by utilizing the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual
of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) criteria to evaluate depressive episodes, along with Eysenck’s
personality traits questionnaire, which consists of 66 questions organized into six forms for
assessing personality traits. Multiple machine learning models (in particular, the effective
Support Vector Machine classifier) are used for questionnaire results processing and
predictions forming.</p>
      <p>An analysis of existing methods and tools for assessing patients’ mental state revealed that,
despite the wide range of available options, evidence-based approaches (such as those
utilizing the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5)) remain
insufficiently developed.</p>

      <title>3. Criteria for determining and classifying the mental disorders using DSM-5</title>
      <p>Before creation of the system for determining the mental state of patients based on
evidencebased psychiatry, let’s look at the basics of determining and classifying mental disorders. The
Introduction identifies anxiety disorders and depression as the most prevalent, with
posttraumatic stress disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder also being significant in the
context of Ukraine. Therefore, the criteria for diagnosing these four mental disorders using
the DSM-5 [47] will be examined. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM) provides a classification system for mental disorders with specific criteria aimed at
improving the reliability of diagnoses.</p>
      <p>Depression disorders can be of varying severity. For example, the criteria for determining
major depressive disorder are shown in Fig. 3 [47]. Similarly, [47] provides criteria for the
determination of persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia), disruptive mood dysregulation
disorder, substance/medication-induced depressive disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder,
depressive disorder due to another medical condition, other specified depressive disorder,
unspecified depressive disorder, etc.</p>
      <p>Anxiety disorders can manifest in various forms. For instance, the criteria for diagnosing
social anxiety disorder (social phobia) are shown in Fig. 4 [47]. Similarly, [47] provides criteria
for the determination of selective mutism, separation anxiety disorder, panic disorder, specific
phobia, agoraphobia, panic attack specifier, substance/medication-induced anxiety disorder,
generalized anxiety disorder, anxiety disorder due to another medical condition, other
specified anxiety disorder, unspecified anxiety disorder, etc.</p>
      <p>Obsessive-compulsive disorders come in different forms. For example, the criteria for
diagnosing obsessive-compulsive disorder are illustrated in Fig. 5 [47]. Similarly, [47] provides
criteria for the determination of hoarding disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, excoriation
(skin-picking) disorder, trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder), obsessive-compulsive and
related disorder due to another medical condition, substance/medication-induced
obsessivecompulsive and related disorder, other specified obsessive-compulsive and related disorder,
unspecified obsessive-compulsive and related disorder, etc.</p>
      <p>Trauma- and stressor-related disorders can take various forms. For instance, the criteria for
diagnosing post-traumatic stress disorder are shown in Fig. 6 [47]. Similarly, [47] provides
criteria for the determination of disinhibited social engagement disorder, reactive attachment
disorder, adjustment disorders, acute stress disorder, other specified trauma- and
stressorrelated disorder, unspecified trauma- and stressor-related disorder, etc.</p>
      <p>To design and develop a mobile-oriented multimodal information system, MentSDet, for
assessing a patient’s mental state, we will utilize the DSM-5 criteria for diagnosing and
classifying mental disorders, including anxiety disorders, depression, trauma- and
stressorrelated disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorders.</p>
    </sec>
    <sec id="sec-4">
      <title>4. Concept of mobile-oriented multimodal information system for determining the patient’s mental state</title>
      <p>Let’s create the concept for a mobile-oriented multimodal information system aimed at
assessing a patient’s mental state.</p>
      <p>Considering the classic and well-known principles of designing and operating information
systems [18], let’s outline the structure of MentSDet, the mobile-oriented multimodal
information system for patient’s mental state determining (Fig. 7).</p>
      <p>Based on the criteria for diagnosing and classifying depression disorders, anxiety disorders,
obsessive-compulsive disorders, and trauma- and stressor-related disorders discussed in
Section 3, questionnaires were developed to assess and categorize these conditions. The
responses to these questionnaires serve as the primary source of information for the
mobileoriented multimodal information system used to determine a patient’s mental state. Patients
can choose to complete any of the surveys at their own discretion or upon recommendation
by their psychiatrist. Additionally, family members who observe symptoms of mental
disorders in the patient can also provide responses. Both the questionnaires and their answers
are stored in the system’s knowledge base.</p>
      <p>The knowledge base also contains rules for diagnosing and classifying depression, anxiety,
obsessive-compulsive, and trauma- and stressor-related disorders. These rules are built on the
DSM-5 criteria discussed in Section 3.</p>
      <p>The system analyzes the responses to the questionnaire(s) using the developed rules and
forms a conclusion about the presence/absence of a certain mental disorder, and on the type
and degree of severity of the mental disorder (if it’s present), which is an information product
of the system and is also stored in the system’s knowledge base.</p>
      <p>The generated conclusion is sent through the web server to the mobile application,
through which it is issued to the patient, his relatives and the psychiatrist, if the patient is
already under treatment. Thanks to such a conclusion, both the patient and his relatives, as
well as the psychiatrist, can evaluate the effectiveness of the received treatment, because
based on the conclusion of the system, it becomes clear whether the symptoms have
disappeared or weakened as a result of the treatment. If the patient has not yet been observed
by a psychiatrist, but the system has formed a conclusion about the presence of a certain
mental disorder, then this is the reason for immediate consultation and treatment with a
psychiatrist.</p>
      <p>Thus, MentSDet, the mobile-oriented multimodal information system developed in this
article for assessing a patient’s mental state, provides questionnaires to the patient or their
family to identify the presence of specific mental disorders. Based on the responses received,
it notifies the patient, their family, and psychiatrist about the presence or absence of a
particular mental disorder, as well as its type and severity. This functionality helps ensure
that the onset of the condition or any exacerbation periods are not overlooked, and it allows
for the evaluation of treatment effectiveness. The proposed information system serves as an
automated and objective diagnostic tool for the early detection of mental disorders.</p>
    </sec>
    <sec id="sec-5">
      <title>5. Results &amp; discussion</title>
      <p>Let’s examine the functionality of MentSDet, the mobile-oriented multimodal information
system designed to assess a patient’s mental state. Currently, the mobile application is
implemented exclusively in test mode, so it is not possible to provide screenshots of its
operation.</p>
      <p>A combatant who was demobilized due to injuries was constantly anxious, he was
constantly tormented by memories and flashbacks, he did not want to see people, he
considered himself guilty that he survived and his comrades died, he had no desire to live, he
couldn’t to sleep, etc. The wife, realizing that some kind of mental disorder is taking place,
passed the survey of the information system regarding trauma- and stressor-related disorders,
in particular, regarding posttraumatic stress disorder (Fig. 6).</p>
      <p>As a result of such surveys, the following answers were chosen: А 1, 2, 4; B 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; C 2;
D 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7; E 1, 3, 5, 6; F; G; H in the questionnaire for determining posttraumatic stress
disorder (Fig. 6).</p>
      <p>The system evaluated the responses to the questionnaire(s) using the established rules
stored in the knowledge base’s rules section and generated a conclusion regarding the
presence of post-traumatic stress disorder 309.81 (F43.10), which is recorded in the system’s
knowledge base.</p>
      <p>The formed conclusion that the patient has post-traumatic stress disorder 309.81 (F43.10)
was sent to the mobile application, through which it was issued to the veteran’s wife. Since
the system formed a conclusion about the presence of a mental disorder, the wife persuaded
the patient to immediately contact a psychiatrist for consultation and treatment.</p>
      <p>It is obvious that the proposed MentSDet information system helped to detect
posttraumatic stress disorder in the patient and prompted him to consult a psychiatrist.</p>
    </sec>

      <title>6. Conclusions</title>
      <p>Given that information systems and technologies make modern medicine more accessible,
qualitative and functional, and that they provide patients with greater opportunities for
accurate diagnosis and monitoring of their health (including mental health), that medical
information systems and technologies facilitate the possibility of continuous monitoring of
patients’ health status as needed, that conventional diagnostic methods heavily depend on

      <p>An analysis of the existing methods and tools for assessing patients’ mental states revealed
that, despite the large number of available options, evidence-based methods and tools – such
as those utilizing the DSM-5 – are still underdeveloped.</p>
      <p>For the design and development of a mobile-oriented multimodal information system for
determining patient’s mental state, MentSDet, we will use the criteria for determining and
classifying mental disorders (in particular, anxiety disorders, depression disorders,
traumaand stressor-related disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders) using DSM-5.</p>
      <p>MentSDet, a mobile-oriented multimodal information system for determining the patient’s
mental state, developed in this article, offers a questionnaire(s) to the patient or his or her
family to determine the presence of a specific mental disorder and, on the basis of the received
answers, sends the patient, his/her family and psychiatrist notifications about the
presence/absence of a particular mental disorder, and the mental disorder’s type and severity,
i.e., it allows not to miss the onset of the disease, the beginning of the exacerbation period, or
to assess the effectiveness of treatment. The proposed information system is an automated
and objective diagnostic tool for the early detection of mental disorders.</p>
      <p>Areas for future research by the authors to further optimize and develop the system include:
implementing the MentSDet information system as a fully functional mobile application (not
just its test version); improving data analysis algorithms for more accurate analysis of
questionnaire responses and other data sources; exploring the possibility of including
biometric data (e.g., heart rate, stress level) to improve mental health assessment;
personalizing recommendations for patients based on their responses and medical history;
analyzing the relationships between different mental disorders to improve diagnosis and
treatment; evaluating the effectiveness of treatment based on data collected through the
system; exploring opportunities to include new features such as online consultations with
psychiatrists; ensuring data privacy and security of patient data in the system; integrating
with other medical systems to improve information exchange; study of patient and doctor
satisfaction with the system to improve the interface and functionality.</p>
