Excited to share our new article w/@affectivebrain in @NatureHumBehav. Key finding: consuming more negative content online is tied to poorer mental health—and vice versa. 💻🧠 Article link: doi.org/10.1038/s41562-024-0… 🧵 Read on for more insights from the study

To start, we are developing LLMs to take small, well-scoped tasks off the plate of clinicians, such as teaching patients how to reframe their thoughts (what used to be worksheets), educating them about their condition, or walking them through lengthy structured interviews (w/ Shannon Wiltsey Stirman & @RobbWiller ).
AI has enormous potential to improve psychotherapy, but there’s a lot at stake. To help psychologists understand the nuances, HAI Faculty Fellow @JEichstaedt & researcher @betsy_stade outline potential benefits & concerns of deploying AI for mental health. stanford.io/3NO9FJ8
