Abstract Early detection and diagnosis of mental health disorders based on patient-reported symptoms is vital in mental health care. This research proposes an ensemble learning pipeline for predicting mental health disorders using symptoms and demographic data. The pipeline incorporates preprocessing techniques such as standardization, one-hot encoding, and Term Frequency - Inverse Document Frequency transformation, and addresses class imbalance with the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique to enhance predictions of rare disorders. Multiple classifiers, including Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, XGBoost, CatBoost, and LightGBM, are combined in a voting classifier, with each model optimized using Grid Search. The pipeline's performance is evaluated on its ability to predict mental health disorders, showing potential for supporting clinical diagnosis. CatBoost proves effective in certain models, while LightGBM delivers strong performance across most. The models achieve around 95% accuracy, demonstrating strong discrimination between disorders and other conditions.
