Introduction

Introduction

Welcome to the Mental Health Modeling Platform documentation. This platform provides detailed information on models that simulate mental health conditions, their progression, and the impact of interventions.


About the Mental Health Modeling Platform

The Mental Health Modeling Platform consists of a suite of models designed to capture the dynamics and health impact of various mental health conditions. Currently, our primary focus is on the Depression model, with plans to expand to other mental health conditions in the future.

These models use compartmental modeling approaches to simulate how populations move between different health states, allowing for the evaluation of various interventions and their potential impact on population health outcomes.


About This Documentation

This documentation is organized into the following sections:

  1. Mental Health Models
    Detailed documentation of specific mental health models, starting with the Depression model.

  2. Data Sources
    Information about the data used in our models, including prevalence rates, remission rates, and other key parameters.

  3. Technical Details
    Technical documentation on how our models work, including the mathematical principles behind compartmental modeling in the mental health context.
