• Abstract summary: This study proposes a new noninvasive method for quantifying anxiety severity by analyzing head movements. We extracted head motion characteristics and applied regression analysis to predict clinically evaluated anxiety levels. Our results demonstrate a high level of precision, achieving a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.35 in predicting the severity of psychological anxiety based on head movement patterns.

• Abstract: Depression and anxiety are prevalent mental health disorders that frequently cooccur, with anxiety significantly influencing both the manifestation and treatment of depression. An accurate assessment of anxiety levels in individuals with depression is crucial to develop effective and personalized treatment plans. This study proposes a new noninvasive method for quantifying anxiety severity by analyzing head movements -specifically speed, acceleration, and angular displacement - during video-recorded interviews with patients suffering from severe depression. Using data from a new CALYPSO Depression Dataset, we extracted head motion characteristics and applied regression analysis to predict clinically evaluated anxiety levels. Our results demonstrate a high level of precision, achieving a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.35 in predicting the severity of psychological anxiety based on head movement patterns. This indicates that our approach can enhance the understanding of anxiety's role in depression and assist psychiatrists in refining treatment strategies for individuals.

  We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of data from 10,129 participants recruited from a UK-based general population. Participants shared wearable (Fitbit) data and self-reported questionnaires on depression (PHQ-8), anxiety (GAD-7), and mood via a study app. We observed significant associations between the severity of depression and anxiety with several factors, including mood, age, gender, BMI, sleep patterns, physical activity, and heart rate.

  We introduce a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) called the COVID-19 Depression and Anxiety Predictor (CoDAP) to predict mental health trends during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our method utilizes a comprehensive dataset, which tracked mental health symptoms weekly over ten weeks during the initial COVID-19 wave (April to June 2020) in a diverse cohort of U.S. adults. This model not only predicts patterns of anxiety and depression during the pandemic but also unveils key insights into the interplay of demographic factors, behavioral changes, and social determinants of mental health.

  We study the task of cognitive distortion detection and propose the Diagnosis of Thought (DoT) prompting. DoT performs diagnosis on the patient's speech via three stages: subjectivity assessment to separate the facts and the thoughts; contrastive reasoning to elicit the reasoning processes supporting and contradicting the thoughts; and schema analysis to summarize the cognition schemas. Experiments demonstrate that DoT obtains significant improvements over ChatGPT for cognitive distortion detection, while generating high-quality rationales approved by human experts.
