Team MKC at CLPsych 2026: Capturing and Characterizing Mental Health Changes through Social Media Timeline Dynamics

arXiv:2606.31464v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have motivated their adoption across a wide range of domains, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) for mental health. Given the growing prevalence of mental health disorders worldwide and the limited accessibility of professional care, there is an increasing demand for scalable computational approaches that can assist in early detection and continuous monitoring of psychological well-being. In this area, ongoing efforts have focused on curating domain-specific datasets and leveraging them to devel
Advances in large language models (LLMs) enable more nuanced and scalable analysis of social media data, aligning with growing societal demand for accessible mental health solutions.
This development highlights the increasing capability of AI to address critical public health challenges, potentially reducing the burden on traditional healthcare systems.
The focus shifts towards proactive mental health monitoring and early detection through AI-driven analysis of publicly available data, rather than solely reactive clinical interventions.
