Depression word-shift graph revealing contributions to difference in Twitter happiness observed between depressed (5.98) and healthy (6.11) participants. In column 3, (−) indicates a relatively negative word, and (+) indicates a relatively positive word, both with respect to the average happiness of all healthy tweets. An up (down) arrow indicates that word was used more (less) by the depressed class. Words on the left (right) contribute to a decrease (increase) in happiness in the depressed class. See Appendix III for PTSD word-shift graph.
