Background: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a mental disorder characterized by depressive and manic or hypomanic episodes. The complexity in the diagnosis of Bipolar disorder (BD) due to its overlapping symptoms with other mood disorders prompted researchers and clinicians to seek new and advanced techniques for the precise detection of Bipolar disorder (BD). One of these methods is the use of advanced machine learning algorithms such as deep learning (DL). However, no study of BD has previously adopted DL techniques using EEG signals. Method: EEG signals of 169 BD patients and 45 controls were cleaned from the artifacts and processed using two different DL methods: a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) combined with the long-short term memory (LSTM) and a two-dimensional convolutional neural network (2D-CNN). Additionally, Class Activation Maps (CAMs) acquired from the bipolar and control groups were used to obtain distinctive regions to specify a particular class in an image. Results: Group identifications were confirmed with 95.91% overall accuracy through the 2D-CNN method, demonstrating very high sensitivity and lower specificity. Also, the overall accuracy obtained from the 1D-CNN + LSTM method was 93%. We also found that F4, C3, F7, and F8 electrode activities produce predominant features to detect the bipolar group. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this study used EEG-based DL analysis for the first time in BD. Our results suggest that the raw EEG-based DL algorithm can successfully differentiate individuals with BD from controls. Class Activation Map (CAM) analysis suggests that prefrontal changes are predominant in EEG data of patients with BD.

Background: Although there are many treatment options available for depression, a large portion of patients with depression are diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), which is characterized by an inadequate response to antidepressant treatment. Identifying the TRD population is crucial in terms of saving time and resources in depression treatment. Recently several studies employed various methods on EEG datasets for automatic depression detection or treatment outcome prediction. However, no previous study has used the deep learning (DL) approach and EEG signals for detecting treatment resistance. Method: 77 patients with TRD, 43 patients with non-TRD, and 40 healthy controls were compared using GoogleNet convolutional neural network and DL on EEG data. Additionally, Class Activation Maps (CAMs) acquired from the TRD and non-TRD groups were used to obtain distinctive regions for classification. Results: GoogleNet classified the healthy controls and non-TRD group with 88.43%, the healthy controls and TRD subjects with 89.73%, and the TRD and non-TRD group with 90.05% accuracy. The external validation accuracy for the TRD-non-TRD classification was 73.33%. Finally, the CAM analysis revealed that the TRD group contained dominant features in class detection of deep learning architecture in almost all electrodes. Limitations: Our study is limited by the moderate sample size of clinical groups and the retrospective nature of the study. Conclusion: These findings suggest that EEG-based deep learning can be used to classify treatment resistance in depression and may in the future prove to be a useful tool in psychiatry practice to identify patients who need more vigorous intervention.
