LLMs assess depression risk on Reddit with competitive accuracy

Researchers have developed a system using Large Language Models (LLMs) to assess depression risk by analyzing Reddit posts. The system classifies posts based on eight depression-associated emotions and calculates a severity index. In a zero-shot evaluation, the gemma3:27b model achieved competitive F1 scores, comparable to fine-tuned models. This approach demonstrates a scalable method for large-scale psychological monitoring using social media data. AI
