Reddit Self-reported Depression Diagnosis (RSDD) dataset

The RSDD (Reddit Self-reported Depression Diagnosis) dataset consists of Reddit posts for approximately 9,000 users who have claimed to have been diagnosed with depression ("diagnosed users") and approximately 107,000 matched control users. All posts made to mental health-related subreddits or containing keywords related to depression were removed from the diagnosed users' data; control users' data do not contain such posts due to the selection process.

Further dataset construction details are available in Section 3.1 of the EMNLP 2017 paper Depression and Self-Harm Risk Assessment in Online Forums or on the data website.
