Can language use in social media help in the treatment of severe mental illness?
Nationally, patients experience multiple barriers to receiving mental health care. In many parts of the US, access to mental health providers is limited. For many patients, getting an appointment with a psychiatrist is difficult and often takes weeks. When patients are able to schedule appointments with a psychiatrist, the visits are usually short and aimed mostly at prescribing medications. For patients with serious conditions like schizophrenia or major depression, the consequences of unattended emergence or worsening of symptoms during those time intervals can be severe.

Characterizing postpartum depression and identifying risk factors might inform risk reduction strategies.
