RSPC: A Benchmark for Modeling Stress and Psychiatric Conditions in Digitally Mediated Relationships using Psychiatrist Annotations
arXiv:2606.27247v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In NLP, mental health conditions are often modeled as isolated phenomena, without interpersonal context. We use Reddit posts about long-distance relationships to capture both mental health distress and associated relational triggers. We introduce the Relational Stress and Psychiatry Corpus (RSPC) containing 1,799 Reddit posts annotated by psychiatrists for diagnostic categories, including the most prevalent mood disorders (anxiety and depression), relational stressor triggers, and indications of relationship phase. We benchmark seven fine-tuned t
The proliferation of digitally mediated relationships and advancements in NLP are enabling more nuanced studies of mental health in these contexts.
Understanding mental health in digital relationships has implications for social platforms, AI ethics, and the evolving landscape of human interaction.
Mental health models can now integrate relational context and specific triggers, moving beyond isolated phenomena.

- · Generic mental health AI models
AI models will become more sophisticated at detecting stress and psychiatric conditions within digital communications.
Social platforms may implement AI-driven interventions or support systems based on these more nuanced mental health insights.
This could lead to new regulatory frameworks for AI use in personal communications and mental health, balancing privacy with welfare.
