Modern Methods of Diagnostics and Treatment of Neurodegenerative Diseases and Depression

This paper discusses the promising areas of research into machine learning applications for the prevention and correction of neurodegenerative and depressive disorders. These two groups of disorders are among the leading causes of decline in the quality of life in the world when estimated using disability-adjusted years. Despite decades of research, the development of new approaches for the assessment (especially pre-clinical) and correction of neurodegenerative diseases and depressive disorders remains among the priority areas of research in neurophysiology, psychology, genetics, and interdisciplinary medicine. Contemporary machine learning technologies and medical data infrastructure create new research opportunities. However, reaching a consensus on the application of new machine learning methods and their integration with the existing standards of care and assessment is still a challenge to overcome before the innovations could be widely introduced to clinics. The research on the development of clinical predictions and classification algorithms contributes towards creating a unified approach to the use of growing clinical data. This unified approach should integrate the requirements of medical professionals, researchers, and governmental regulators. In the current paper, the current state of research into neurodegenerative and depressive disorders is presented
