Abstract

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a prevalent disorder that can develop in people who have experienced very stressful, shocking, or distressing events. It has great influence on peoples' daily life and can affect their mental, physical, or social wellbeing, which is why a timely and professional treatment is required. In this paper, we propose a personalised speech-based PTSD prediction approach using a newly collected dataset which consists of 15 participants, including speech recordings from people with PTSD and healthy controls. In addition, the dataset includes data before and after a clinical intervention so that the prediction can be analysed at different points in time. In our experiments, we demonstrate the superiority of the personalised approach, achieving a best area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 82 % and a best relative improvement of 7 % points compared to the non-personalised model.
