arXiv:2607. 08257v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong performance on isolated psychiatric tasks, including dialogue, diagnosis, and treatment planning, yet existing benchmarks rarely simulate complete psychiatric clinical encounters.
arXiv:2607. 18999v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-turn medical consultation agents must decide what to ask, adapt to patient responses, and determine when the collected evidence is sufficient.
PsyCIDRA is a dual‑agent framework that couples a free‑form psychiatric interviewer with a diagnostic reasoning agent to support expert review. The interviewer agent uses tools to keep working notes, load expert skills, and pull ICD‑11 references, while the diagnostic agent receives the interview transcript and generates hypotheses with supporting, conflicting, and missing evidence, withholding a final hypothesis if insufficient support exists. In simulations and a blinded human study, PsyCIDRA achieved higher diagnostic agreement and rank‑1 accuracy than direct prompting, indicating its promise for assisting psychiatric assessment through interactive dialogue.
arXiv:2608. 12329v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Progress on AI for psychosis-risk assessment is limited by a data-access bottleneck.
arXiv:2607. 13036v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for decision support in healthcare, but clinical evidence is often incomplete or evolving.
MindEval2 is a new evaluation framework for AI chatbots in mental health support, comprising Mental Health Quality Rubrics (MHQR) and the MindSim patient simulation harness. MHQR, developed with PhD-level psychologists, provides explicit, actionable criteria for assessing response quality, while MindSim offers realistic, longitudinal patient interactions with a memory component. The study evaluated 18 models, finding that although surface-level quality has improved, guidance calibration remains the main failure across all models.
