• Abstract: This paper introduces a novel paradigm for depression detection and treatment using advanced Large Language Models (LLMs): Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4 (GPT-4), Llama 2 chat, and Gemini. These LLMs are fine-tuned with specialized prompts to diagnose, explain, and suggest therapeutic interventions for depression. A unique few-shot prompting method enhances the models' ability to analyze and explain depressive symptoms based on the DSM-5 criteria. In the interaction phase, the models engage in empathetic dialogue management, drawing from resources like PsychDB and a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Guide, fostering supportive interactions with individuals experiencing major depressive disorders. Additionally, the research introduces the Illuminate Database, enriched with various CBT modules, aiding in personalized therapy recommendations. The study evaluates LLM performance using metrics such as F1 scores, Precision, Recall, Cosine similarity, and Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation (ROUGE) across different test sets, demonstrating their effectiveness. This comprehensive approach blends cutting-edge AI with established psychological methods, offering new possibilities in mental health care and showcasing the potential of LLMs in revolutionizing depression diagnosis and treatment strategies.

• CBT-Bench: Evaluating Large Language Models on Assisting Cognitive Behavior Therapy [67.23830698947637]
  We propose a new benchmark, CBT-BENCH, for the systematic evaluation of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) assistance. We include three levels of tasks in CBT-BENCH: I: Basic CBT knowledge acquisition, with the task of multiple-choice questions; II: Cognitive model understanding, with the tasks of cognitive distortion classification, primary core belief classification, and fine-grained core belief classification; III: Therapeutic response generation, with the task of generating responses to patient speech in CBT therapy sessions. Experimental results indicate that while LLMs perform well in reciting CBT knowledge, they fall short in complex real-world scenarios
