Several studies have been carried out in this regard. The Machine learning model is the best way to predict the level of stress and depression of humankind by statistically analyzing the behavior of humankind which helps to the early detection of stress and depression. This helps to prevent society from psychological pressures from any disaster like COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the public health emergencies which are of great international concern. It imposes a great physiological burden and challenges on the population of the country facing the disaster caused by this disease. Methods: In this paper, the authors have surveyed by defining some questionnaires related to depression and stress and used the machine learning approach to predict the stress and depression level of humankind in the situation COVID19The data sets are analyzed using the Multiple Linear Regression Model. The predicted score of stress and depression is mapped into DASS-21. The predictions have been made over different age groups, gender, and categories.
