The infinite increase in population, the pressure of survival, and the pressure of learning make the competition between people more and more fierce. Some college students have also been in a state of anxiety and panic for a long time, and mental health diseases have shown an explosive growth trend. The development of social networks such as Weibo, QQ, and WeChat not only provides more convenient communication methods for college students, but also provides a new emotional vent window for

At the same time, the development of social networks has also provided a new way for the detection of depressed users. The current computer technology analyzes the user's social network data to detect the user's depression. This study uses text-level mining of Sina Weibo data from college students to detect depression among college students. First, collect text information of college student users in Sina Weibo, and construct the text information into input data that can be used for machine learning. Deep neural networks are used for feature extraction. An deep integrated support vector machine(DISVM) algorithm is introduced to classify the input data, and finally realize the recognition of depression. DISVM makes the recognition model more stable and improves the accuracy of depression diagnosis to a certain extent. Simulation experiments verify that the proposed depression recognition scheme can detect potential depression patients in the college student population through Sina Weibo data.
