: This study analyzes sensitive mental health–related text and therefore carefully addresses ethical considerations. All experiments are conducted on the publicly available and fully anonymized DepressionEmo(Rahman ) dataset, which contains no personally identifiable information. The proposed model operates solely on textual data for offline research and aggregate-level analysis, without tracking or profiling individuals. As the data are sourced from Reddit, potential demographic and cultural biases may affect model behavior and limit generalizability. Importantly, the DeBERTa–BiLSTM model is intended for computational research support only and is not a diagnostic or clinical decision-making tool, nor a substitute for professional mental health evaluation. This research work does not involve any animals or human participants.
