Original Problem 🎯:

Mental health support remains inaccessible to many due to cost, stigma, and resource limitations. Current AI solutions lack personalization, proactive engagement, and reliable risk detection capabilities.

-----

Solution in this Paper 🛠️:

• SouLLMate: A three-level LLM system combining Chain, RAG, and prompt engineering

• Key Indicator Summarization (KIS): Extracts critical information from historical dialogues

• Proactive Questioning Strategy (PQS): Mimics psychologist's assessment approach

• Stacked Multi-Model Reasoning (SMMR): Enhances long-context reasoning accuracy

• System integrates RAG for personalized profile management and information extraction

-----

Key Insights 💡:

• Mental health support needs personalization and proactive engagement

• Multi-level LLM architecture improves assessment accuracy

• Combining domain expertise with AI enhances mental health support

• Local deployment ensures data privacy and security

• System serves both professionals and help seekers effectively

-----

Results 📊:

• 80% accuracy in clinical mental health assessments under zero-shot conditions

• Enhanced performance through SMMR and KIS methods

• Supports 59+ languages for diverse populations

• Validated using expert-annotated mental health data

• Demonstrated strong capabilities in understanding mental health issues
