That’s the suggestion of a new study that focused on using machine learning to analyze Instagram photos. The study included photographs from 166 people, some of whom were depressed, and some of whom were not. Other popular filters included X-Pro II and Crema, for healthy and depressed photographers, respectively. “[P]hotos posted by depressed individuals tended to be bluer, darker, and grayer” the study stated. Ultimately, the study concluded that not only was depression discernible in Instagram photos, but their method was actually more accurate than some professionals’ diagnosis success rate.
