  bibo_abstract:
  - Clinical depression is a serious mental disorder that poses challenges for both
    personal and public health. Millions of people struggle with depression each year,
    but for many, the disorder goes undiagnosed or untreated. Over the last decade,
    early depression detection on social media emerged as an interdisciplinary research
    field. However, there is still a gap in detecting hesitant, depression-susceptible
    individuals with minimal direct depressive signals at an early stage. We, therefore,
    take up this open point and leverage posts from Reddit to fill the addressed gap.
    Our results demonstrate the potential of contemporary Transformer architectures
    in yielding promising predictive capabilities for mental health research. Furthermore,
    we investigate the model’s interpretability using a surrogate and a topic modeling
    approach. Based on our findings, we consider this work as a further step towards
    developing a better understanding of mental eHealth and hope that our results
    can support the development of future technologies.@eng
