| Challenge: | Mental disorders affect nearly one in seven people worldwide, yet the vast majority do not receive adequate care. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework to evaluate LLMs' ethical knowledge and behavioral responses through multiple-choice and open-ended tasks with fine-grained ethicality annotations. |
| Outcome: | Empirical results across 14 models reveal that refusal rates are poor indicators of ethical behavior, revealing a significant divergence between safety triggers and clinical appropriateness. |

| Challenge: | Psychotic disorders are a major contributor to the global health burden due to their relatively high mortality risk. |
| Approach: | They propose an NLP pipeline that takes semi-structured clinical interviews to predict psychosis risk and generate novel SHAP explanation formats. |
| Outcome: | The proposed pipeline outperforms baseline models and achieves 90% accuracy across three BERT variants. |
