 ABSTRACT

A Study on Social Media Postings in Relation to Psychological Disorders is a

research project that aims to examine the relationship between social media
postings and the development of psychological disorders. The study will focus
on analysing social media postings of individuals who have been diagnosed
with psychological disorders and comparing them to those of individuals
without psychological disorders. The research will also explore the potential of
social media data in supporting or refusing diagnoses and in providing insight
into the behaviour and motives of individuals involved in criminal cases. The
findings of this study will contribute to the development of effective digital
forensic methods for social media and provide a better understanding of the
connection between social media and mental health.
