• Abstract: Data-driven methods for mental health treatment and surveillance have become a major focus in computational science research in the last decade. However, progress in the domain, in terms of both medical understanding and system performance, remains bounded by the availability of adequate data. Prior systematic reviews have not necessarily made it possible to measure the degree to which data-related challenges have affected research progress. In this paper, we offer an analysis specifically on the state of social media data that exists for conducting mental health research. We do so by introducing an open-source directory of mental health datasets, annotated using a standardized schema to facilitate meta-analysis.

  This chapter presents research conducted in the past decade that has harnessed social media data in the service of mental health and well-being. The discussion is organized along three thrusts: a first that highlights how social media data has been utilized to detect and predict risk to varied mental health concerns; a second thrust that focuses on translation paradigms that can enable to use of such social media based algorithms in the real-world; and the final thrust that brings to the fore the ethical considerations and challenges that engender the conduct of this research as well as its translation.

  We propose a novel adaptive Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) approach that completes psychological questionnaires by analyzing social media posts. Our method retrieves the most relevant user posts for each question in a psychological survey and uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to predict questionnaire scores in a zero-shot setting.
