  • 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.

    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.
