AI Psychosis? 🤖🧠
Chatbots are reshaping mental health—sometimes helping, sometimes fueling delusional ideas.
⚖️ Risks: delusion loops buff.ly/VdsCCPR
⚖️ Warnings: John Torous on “AI psychosis” (buff.ly/B8dP15E
)
⚖️ Opportunities: chatbots can reduce conspiracy beliefs (buff.ly/rmHP2ms

Just read a fascinating Nature paper by Marcel Binz & Eric Schulz:
A foundation model (Centaur) predicts human decisions & aligns with brain data.
Huge potential for digital phenotyping & brain-AI alignment in mental health.

🎯 Excited about the launch of YOUTHreach, a major EU project improving early intervention in youth mental health.
Led by Prof. Thérèse van Amelsvoort, with top experts like Matthew Broome, Pat McGorry & many more.
Glad to support as Advisory Board member.

We have some work in this direction: www.researchgate.net/publication/...
Let me know in case you have some questions!

Hope this helps!
🧠 New preprint from our team!
Hannah Hacker explores how hierarchical brain organization breaks down in early psychosis and depression. Alterations in sensorimotor and attention networks show up early and relate to function, symptoms, and neurobiology.

🧠 Clinical intuition vs. AI?
LLMs now outperform clinicians in some tasks (buff.ly/fsBlurQ buff.ly/g8a04i7) yet human input boosts ML models (buff.ly/uGZYvIg buff.ly/R5uk00K ).
We're not replacing psychiatrists. We're entering the era of AI-augmented care.
💬 How do we combine human and AI?
🛋️ “ChatGPT on the Couch” — Can LLMs feel anxious?
A new paper shows GPT-4 simulates emotional responses to trauma prompts—and chills out with mindfulness.
Simulated minds, real questions.

🎓 Huge congrats to Dr. Linnea Hoheisel on her PhD defense! Her work on brain network dynamics in psychotic & affective disorders brings us closer to precision psychiatry.
Proud to have been part of the journey!

Hilft uns KI in der indizierten Prävention bei Personen mit erhöhtem psychischen Erkrankungsrisiko?
Ich freue mich, bei der 99. Jahrestagung der Thüringer Gesellschaft für Psychiatrie, Neurologie und Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie (TGPNK) am 4. April in Erfurt zu sprechen.

Hot-Topic: KI in der Psychiatrie
Vielen Dank an das wissenschaftliche Team des Psychiatrie Updates 2025: In Berlin und Mainz durfte ich meinen Blick auf Anwendungen von KI im Fach Psychiatrie schildern und aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse der letzten Jahre vorstellen.
Can artificial intelligence decode clinical intuition? 🧠🤖
The authors fine-tuned large language models (LLMs) on >4,000 clinical reports and achieved high diagnostic accuracy for autism!
A fascinating new study in Cell takes a bold step in that direction:

Glad to see the results published by Prof. Wölwer & team from our collaborative study on cognitive remediation to facilitate recovery in patients with schizophrenia:
buff.ly/3Xnc9Tk
Great study underlining the importance of effective therapies to improve cognition!
🏥 AI in Healthcare: A Political Dilemma? 🤖
AI models shape the future of health, but most powerful models come from AI companies and leaders with their own interests and political views. Should researchers question whose AI they rely on? Do ethical concerns outweigh scientific progress?
How Well Do LLMs Understand Probability?
Just tested how LLMs interpret probability words (e.g., "likely," "rare") vs. humans using https://buff.ly/3CSFb6j LLMs align with averages but variability. In medicine, uncertainty matters...! AI must interpret this correctly to support decision-making.
🔬 Iclepertin and Schizophrenia 💊
Boehringer's trial for iclepertin missed endpoints, highlighting the challenges of cognitive impairment in schizophrenia. Negative findings are vital for progress—transparency and knowledge-building pave the way for future innovation.

New paper! Can AI minds help understand mental health? 🤔
We propose using generative agents to simulate how environment & social factors impact mental health. Think virtual cities with AI citizens to study what shapes wellbeing.

Happy: christmas celebration with the great team and an amazing year 2025! Sad: saying bye to two dear lab members. Thanks for the fantastic time Sophie & Julian 😎
Nice get together for a little farewell celebration for two lab members: Sophie & Julian! Was great to have both with us & wishing all the best for the further journey!
Was great fun to visit 2024 DGPPN conference in Berlin! Meeting dear colleagues, great input & inspiration and most importantly having dinners with the wonderful team - I could not ask for more... ;)
Reminds me of the COVID pandemics when meta-analyses were published which were mainly based on original studies which were still in "pre-print" status... 🤨
