Abstract

Depression is a significant public health concern and deeply affects both the depressed person's life and the lives of their family members. The purpose of this project is to improve the monitoring of patients with major depressive disorders while they are receiving treatment, in order to prevent harm to them and to reduce their current depressive symptoms.
