Reddit SuicideWatch and Mental Health Collection (SWMH) for Suicidal Ideation and Mental Disorder Detection

We collect this dataset from some mental health-related subreddits in https://www.reddit.com/ to further the study of mental disorders and suicidal ideation. We name this dataset as Reddit SuicideWatch and Mental Health Collection, or SWMH for short, where discussions comprise suicide-related intention and mental disorders like depression, anxiety, and bipolar. We use the Reddit official API and develop a web spider to collect the targeted forums. This collection contains a total of 54,412 posts. Specific subreddits are listed in Table 4 of the below paper, as well as the number and the percentage of posts collected in the train-val-test split.

This dataset is only for research. Please request with your institutional email.
