As a California native, I made the bold — and perhaps regrettable — decision to apply to colleges somewhere with seasons. My idealistic 17-year-old self had a vision: a fall of cable-knit sweaters and orange leaves crunching beneath my feet like in “Gilmore Girls” (2000–07), and magical snow blanketing my historic college town in the winter.

A landmark trial from Pakistan has just proven it’s possible. In a country where nearly half of pregnant women experience anxiety but rarely receive help, a groundbreaking project led by Pamela Surkan, PhD, ScD, MS has shown that early, low-cost prenatal counseling can reduce postpartum depression and anxiety by more than 80% — and even improve newborn outcomes.

Accurate psychiatric diagnosis and assessment are crucial for effective treatment. However, current diagnostic approaches heavily rely on subjective observations constrained by time and clinical resources. This study investigates the potential of using Large Language Models (LLMs) to identify the symptoms in psychiatrist-patient dialogues and use them as intermediate features to predict the diagnostic labels. We collected audio recordings of 1160 outpatients with depressive disorder and anxiety disorder. LLMs were trained and utilized to identify clinical symptoms, rate assessment scales, and an ensemble learning pipeline was designed to classify diagnostic results and symptoms with 10-fold cross-validation. The system achieved 86.9% accuracy for identifying the appearance of clinical annotations and 74.7% (77.2%) accuracy for identifying symptoms of anxiety (depression). In addition, analysis of LLM-generated features shows that depression cases exhibited prominent markers of anhedonia and decreased volition, whereas anxiety disorders were characterized by tension and an inability to relax.

Grieving children need healthy ways to respond to death. Grieving children should be treated openly and allowed to express themselves. It is when grieving children are prevented from allowing to mourn or express themselves that psychological maladies can develop that will affect them for the rest of their lives.
