AI can detect your depression. And we have the data to prove it.

In our DEBUT episode of Neural Compass, we're kicking things off with a conversation that gets right to the heart of what this show is about — the intersection of AI, clinical care, and the future of mental and behavioral health. Host Mark Jacobstein sits down with Dr. Lyle Ungar — professor at UPenn and expert in machine learning, psychology, and language — to explore how AI is reshaping how we understand and care for the mind.

They cover:


- How language models are being used to pre-screen for depression


- The role of "synthetic friends" and when AI becomes too much of a crutch


- What it takes to move from mental illness to mental flourishing


- The future of AI-human collaboration in therapy
