LLM psychiatric diagnosis benchmark reveals accuracy gaps in complex cases

A new benchmark, LingxiDiagBench, has been developed to evaluate Large Language Models (LLMs) in Chinese psychiatric consultation and diagnosis. The benchmark includes a dataset of 16,000 synthetic dialogues, LingxiDiag-16K, designed to mimic real clinical distributions across 12 ICD-10 categories. Experiments show that while LLMs perform well in binary classification tasks like distinguishing depression from anxiety, their accuracy significantly drops for more complex tasks such as comorbidity recognition and 12-way differential diagnosis. The study also found that dynamic multi-turn consultations can be less effective than static evaluations, indicating that LLMs' information-gathering strategies impact their diagnostic reasoning. AI

IMPACT Highlights limitations in LLM diagnostic reasoning for complex mental health conditions, indicating areas for future research and development.
