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.

Es esencial considerar el contexto geográfico y cultural al abordar la depresión estacional en Latinoamérica, donde las estaciones no siempre son marcadamente invierno o verano como en otras regiones. En muchas áreas, los cambios de luz y clima pueden ser menos pronunciados, pero factores como las lluvias intensas o la disminución de horas de sol también pueden influir en el estado de ánimo.

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.

En casos de duelos prolongados causados por muertes catastróficas, como asesinatos, suicidios o guerras, la reacción emocional es mucho más compleja y dolorosa. Estos duelos suelen estar marcados por síntomas de duelo complicado, donde la tristeza intensa, la negación persistente y el sentimiento de culpa pueden durar mucho más tiempo, afectando profundamente la capacidad de la persona para continuar con su vida normal.
