According to the World Health Organization, there are more than 300 million people with depression in the world. And if this trend is not controlled, it is expected that depression will become the most serious and common disease in the world in 2030, and the mental health problems of college students are particularly serious. In order to effectively detect mental health, this review analyzes and summarizes each of the three commonly used multimodal architectures at this stage, compares their typical studies and experiments to explore the demand relationship between multimodal signals and architectures, explores the advantages and disadvantages of architecture algorithms, gives new algorithm optimization schemes, and gives reasonable suggestions for new application environments. The results show that the three multimodal architectures explored have higher accuracy than the single-modality. However, there are deficiencies in anti-interference, dataset collection, and scenario interaction, which can be optimized by dataset update and lotus effect algorithm.
