Disclosing Critical Voice Features for Discriminating between Depression and Insomnia-A Preliminary Study for Developing a Quantitative Method.

Depression and insomnia are highly related-insomnia is a common symptom among depression patients, and insomnia can result in depression. Although depression patients and insomnia patients should be treated with different approaches, the lack of practical biological markers makes it difficult to discriminate between depression and insomnia effectively. This study aimed to disclose critical vocal features for discriminating between depression and insomnia.
