Abstract

In today’s advancing world, as technology is evolving by leaps and bounds, it is also creating various stress symptoms among people. Diseases such as stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD are commonly found in the younger generation. This is all contributed to various factors such as lifestyle choices, social and economic pressure, and low self-esteem. Workload, immense social and economic pressure, and family responsibilities are other factors that impose increasing levels of stress on individuals. Hence, detection and analysis of stress at early stages can reduce severe consequences and risks that may occur in the future. In modern times, advancement in technology has created a need for evolution in the medical sector. As a result, it is crucial to predict and analyze various symptoms that cause stress so that it is easier to find their treatment as soon as possible. Thus, this evolved the need for bioinformatics to work with machine learning. With the help of various machine learning methodologies, it is now easy to predict and analyze stress in people at their initial stages. In this manuscript, various techniques of machine learning have been examined that are used to analyze stress and its symptoms. These include techniques such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression, Naïve Bayes, Decision Trees, and Random Forest.
