Abstract
A prediction, diagnosis, or suggesting of a diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder is made based in embodiments of the disclosed technology by determining a shape of one or both pupils in an image of a patient. Such a diagnosis can be made in real-time by diagnosing the patient, or by viewing a digitized version of the patient's face as part of post-processing. By finding a pupil which is ovoid or irregular shape (non-circular) and/or comparing the shape to that of shapes of people with known psychiatric disorders, a diagnosis can be suggested.
