Learning Evidence of Depression Symptoms via Prompt Induction

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2604.24376v1 Announce Type: new Depression places substantial pressure on mental health services, and many people describe their experiences outside clinical settings in high-volume user-generated text (e.g., online forums and social media). Automatically identifying clinical symptom evidence in such text can therefore complement limited clinical capacity and scale to large populations. We address this need through sentence-level classification of 21 depression symptoms from the BDI-II questionnaire, using BDI-Sen, a dataset annotated for symptom relevance.
