How Data Analytics & Visualization can Aid in Mental Healthcare

There was a survey between 2008 and 2013 about major mental illnesses, and while a statement could be made from the initial charts alone, it would only be a guesstimate. When visualizing the data in a way that makes large data sets comprehensible and evidential, a pattern is revealed that seasons can exacerbate conditions of mental illnesses. Data like those seasonal weather patterns, as well as records from patients being cross-referenced with studies, are then used for predictive analytics to help before a new traumatic disorder happens. Practices like this are efficient and effective, and have been influenced from early statisticians and healthcare workers like Nightingale.
