Research Paper Overview
Trustworthy AI Psychotherapy: Multi-Agent LLM Workflow for Counseling and Explainable Mental Disorder Diagnosis
Summary
LLM-based agents have shown promise in complex tasks but underperform in mental health diagnosis due to limited data and lack of clinical reasoning alignment. This paper introduces DSM5AgentFlow, an autonomous LLM workflow that generates DSM-5 Level-1 diagnostic questionnaires by simulating therapist-client dialogues, providing transparent, explainable, and trustworthy mental disorder predictions while adhering to ethical standards. The approach is validated through experiments on conversational realism, diagnostic accuracy, and explainability, with open-sourced datasets and implementations.
