Abstract
We provide an overview of the CLPsych 2025 Shared Task, which focuses on capturing mental health dynamics from social media timelines. Building on CLPsych 2022’s longitudinal modeling approach, this work combines monitoring mental states with evidence and summary generation through four subtasks: (A.1) Evidence Extraction, highlighting text spans reflecting adaptive or maladaptive self-states; (A.2) Well-Being Score Prediction, assigning posts a 1 to 10 score based on social, occupational, and psychological functioning; (B) Post-level Summarization of the interplay between adaptive and maladaptive states within individual posts; and (C) Timeline-level Summarization capturing temporal dynamics of self-states over posts in a timeline. We describe key findings and future directions.
