Highlights:

• We propose an expert-annotated dataset for fine-grained depression analysis.

• The dataset has practical significance for sociology and health care.

• We propose a novel model for joint depression degree and cause prediction.

• The proposed method outperforms several strong baselines and keeps interpretability.

• We conduct detailed analyses for better understanding the data and model.
