Digital conversations about suicide among teenagers and adults with epilepsy: A big-data, machine learning analysis
Epilepsia- Psychiatry Medical Journal
Objective: Digital media conversations can provide important insight into the concerns
and struggles of people with epilepsy (PWE) outside of formal clinical settings and help
generate useful information for treatment planning. Our study aimed to explore the big
data from open-source digital conversations among PWE with regard to suicidality,
specifically comparing teenagers and adults, using machine learning technology.
Methods: Advanced machine-learning empowered methodology…Objective: Digital media conversations can provide important insight into the concerns
and struggles of people with epilepsy (PWE) outside of formal clinical settings and help
generate useful information for treatment planning. Our study aimed to explore the big
data from open-source digital conversations among PWE with regard to suicidality,
specifically comparing teenagers and adults, using machine learning technology.
Methods: Advanced machine-learning empowered methodology was used to mine
and structure open-source digital conversations of self-identifying teenagers and
adults who endorsed suffering from epilepsy and engaged in conversation about suicide.
The search was limited to 12 months and included only conversations originating
from US internet protocol (IP) addresses. Natural language processing and text
analytics were employed to develop a thematic analysis.
Results: A total of 222 000 unique conversations about epilepsy, including 9000
(4%) related to suicide, were posted during the study period. The suicide-related conversations
were posted by 7.8% of teenagers and 3.2% of adults in the study. Several
critical differences were noted between teenagers and adults. A higher percentage
of teenagers are: fearful of “the unknown” due to seizures (63% vs 12% adults),
concerned about social consequences of seizures (30% vs 21%), and seek emotional
support (29% vs 19%). In contrast, a significantly higher percentage of adults show
a defeatist (“given up”) attitude compared to teenagers (42% vs 4%). There were
important differences in the author's determined sentiments behind the conversations
among teenagers and adults. -
