<p>I am currently doing a research in the attempt to detect onset sign of mental disorders through facial recognition. In order to do that, I would need training dataset which contains 1. Pictures 2. Diagnosis. Are there any open datasets that I could find/apply to? Thanks</p>

Welcome to Psychology.SE. I am intrigued by your research question.  Are you suggesting that mental health diagnoses can be made by reading facial cues?

Personally identifiable information (like faces) coupled with mental health records? Seems ethically questionable, to say the least. The data set you are imagining would be a privacy nightmare. I think you're probably out of luck with this one, sorry.

To add to steveLangsford's comment, depending on where you are located it could be *illegal for you to do this research without approval by a regulatory body*.

Your best bet might be to find a researcher who already has such dataset collected and try to form a collaborative relationship with him/er where you help them analyze the data. For privacy reasons, it might be very difficult to find such data publicly posted online. To help build such relationship, try searching: https://academia.stackexchange.com/
