Therefore, persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. It Depression is one of the common types of mental affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a disorder worldwide.

Diagnosing Mood disorders are inherently related to emotion. In depression in the early curable stage is very important. particular, the behavior of people suffering from mood Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are obtained for disorders such as unipolar depression shows a strong publicly available database are processed in MATLAB. temporal correlation with the affective dimensions This can be useful in classifying subjects with the valence and arousal. In addition, psychologist and psychiatrists take the observation of expressive facial disorders using classifier tool in it. and vocal cues into account while evaluating a patient condition. Depression could result in expressive Primarily the EEG signals were read using EDF browser behavior such as dampened facial expressions, avoiding software and the signals were fed into MATLAB to get eye contact, and using short sentences with flat log power spectral density from EEG bands. The features intonation [2]. are extracted from different frequency bands.
