Assessing the Need for Mental Health Support From Free-Text Responses: Development and Validation of Language-Based Assessments in Adults With Internalizing Symptoms. JMIR Mental Health, 13, e105460
Hoi! I am a PhD student in Psychology at Lund University. I’m from the Netherlands and met the Harmony Lab during a research internship in Sweden – the welcoming environment and fun research projects made it so that I never left :) I am interested in assessing mental health using individuals’ language with NLP. My PhD project is about developing language-based methods for assessing depression and anxiety in children and young adults. We also collaborate with Swedish mental health support and crisis helplines by analysing their chat and phone conversations to provide insights and improve their effectiveness.
