Abstract: Schizophrenia is a brain disorder that significantly affects the quality of life of affected individuals. One of its prominent symptoms is the induction of changes in the acoustics of the patients. In the absence of definite methods for its diagnosis, speech analysis can help in the preliminary screening of the patients. In this paper, an automated method using deep learning for differentiating between individuals with schizophrenia and psychosis from healthy individuals is suggested. Using convolutional neural networks with speech spectrograms as input, a classification accuracy of 87.01% has been obtained for levels of schizophrenia and 95.26% for differentiating between schizophrenic and healthy speech.
