Prior studies have linked language features, including negative sentiment and first-person pronouns, to mood and depression, suggesting that naturalistic language may identify who is at risk and when that risk is greatest. However, studies of adolescent smartphone social communication have typically relied on rule-based models not validated for heterogeneous, context-sensitive language. To address this gap, we determined whether transformer models, including large language models, optimized detection of depression risk in extensive adolescent smartphone text data. In this study, 223 adolescents (Mage = 16.43 years, current MDD = 37, remitted MDD = 103, healthy controls = 83) installed a smartphone app, which prompted participants to provide mood ratings once a day and acquired all keyboard inputs over 12 months (mean text entries per participant = 17,683). Ten thousand text entries were double-coded for entry-level sentiment (positive, neutral, negative) and self-reference for training and testing traditional rule-based approaches (VADER, pronoun counts) and transformer approaches, including GPT-4-mini. In the full data set, between-participant associations with depressive symptoms and within-participant relations to daily mood and depressive episodes were examined. Fine-tuned transformer models best aligned with human-coded sentiment labels (F1GPT4-MINI = .84, F1VADER = .59) and accurately detected self-reference (F1T5-BASE = .97). Adolescents with current and remitted MDD exhibited more transformer-based negative self-referential language than healthy controls (ORs = 1.38, 1.26). Increased negative self-referential language predicted worse next-day mood (β = -.033, p < .001) and a higher likelihood of next-week depressive episodes (OR = 1.66, 95% confidence interval [1.06, 2.62], p = .028), although the association with depressive episodes was not robust to sensitivity analyses.

Natural language processing (NLP) tools can harness information embedded in the notes generated during clinical interviews to obtain more objective markers of psychosis risk; for this project, we used readily available assessor notes. The following project acts as proof of concept on the usefulness of AI-based tools to capture latent psychosis risk information. We used assessor notes for 2,077 Structured Interview for Psychosis-risk Syndromes interviews as input for different AI-based NLP models to produce metrics for psychosis risk, namely, a trained encoder-only model (ModernBERT), and zero-shot and few-shot instantiation of two decoder-only models (Large Language Model Meta AI Version 4 [LLaMA-4] and GPT-4.1 mini). AI-based risk metrics were compared with gold-standard ratings of clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR). The AI-based risk metrics' relationship to traditional psychosis risk scores (Shanghai-At-Risk-for-Psychosis [SHARP] and North American Prodrome Longitudinal Study [NAPLS]) was also assessed. Finally, we explored the added benefit of adding AI-based risk metrics to models predicting future participant conversion. All models performed above chance in classifying interview notes for the presence or absence of CHR syndromes. The trained encoder model performed the best out of all models determining the presence of CHR syndromes (accuracy = 82.67%, κ = .63). Positive CHR classification by the encoder model resulted in a 0.69 and 0.85 standard deviation increase in SHARP and NAPLS risk scores (<i>p</i> < .001). A 1 standard deviation increase in decoder-generated risk scores increased traditional risk scores between 0.24 and 0.47 standard deviations (all <i>p</i>s < .001). In exploratory analyses, decoder-generated risk scores incrementally improved models predicting conversion including SHARP but not NAPLS risk scores. Although our results need to be considered in the context of one consortium, AI-based NLPs show potential as an aid for the diagnosis of CHR syndromes, evaluating psychosis risk, and even predicting future conversion, even with suboptimal but readily available inputs (i.e., assessor notes).

Using the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology framework, this Stage 2 Registered Report synthesized evidence from 430 studies and 732 effect sizes (N = 62,264) to quantify associations between resting HRV and psychopathology at multiple levels of specificity-from individual disorders to higher order spectra and superspectra. Across the hierarchy, lower resting HRV emerged as a robust correlate of most domains of psychopathology. For example, at the disorder level, lower resting HRV was significantly associated with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, borderline personality, posttraumatic stress disorder, and major depression, but not with obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Psychotic conditions showed the strongest associations across all levels of the hierarchy, but sensitivity analyses indicated that these associations are likely influenced by study design and sample characteristics. Together with consistent moderator effects showing stronger HRV-psychopathology associations in samples with higher symptom severity, we conclude that decrements in resting HRV represent a transdiagnostic marker of systemic dysregulation reflecting illness severity rather than disorder-specific autonomic signatures.

Specifically, among offspring of mothers with MDD, higher depressive symptoms at a given assessment predicted future increases in attentional bias to sad faces, whereas among offspring of never depressed mothers, higher depressive symptoms predicted subsequent decreases in attentional bias to happy faces.

In addition, in exploratory analyses, individuals high in trait anxiety, but not depressive symptoms, showed an amplified increase in abstract relative to concrete language across stages. The result held even when accounting for lexicon-based abstractness measures. These results extend valence-based theories by suggesting that trait anxiety symptoms are associated with amplified abstraction during social interpretations.

First, we evaluated whether these models can reliably detect depressive constructs, finding that GPT-4 (a) demonstrated strong convergent validity with standard instruments and expert judgments (<i>r</i> = .70-.81). We mapped the model's internal schema of depression, showing that it (b) organized symptoms into an interconnected network (symptom correlations <i>r</i> = .23-.78) that largely aligned with the established clinical literature. However, it (c) underemphasized the relationship between <i>suicidality</i> and other symptoms while overemphasizing the importance of <i>psychomotor symptoms.</i> Finally, the associations (d) suggested novel hypotheses for symptom mechanisms, for instance, indicating that <i>sleep</i> and <i>fatigue</i> are broadly influenced by other depressive symptoms, whereas <i>worthlessness/guilt</i> is selectively associated with <i>depressed mood</i>. GPT-5 showed slightly lower convergence with self-report, which our analysis attributed to changes in the relationships among symptoms. These insights provide a generalizable, empirical foundation for understanding language models' mental health assessments across models and disorders.
