Researchers have developed a hybrid model that combines DistilBERT embeddings with cognitive-linguistic features to detect depression in online text. This model, which incorporates cognitive distortions like absolutist words and negative emotion, achieved a macro F1 score of 0.94. This significantly outperforms a baseline TF-IDF model that scored 0.80, demonstrating the effectiveness of integrating cognitive theory into AI-driven mental health analysis. AI
