Machine Learning Model Enables Researchers to Pinpoint PTSD Sufferers

Researchers have designed a machine learning model that can identify individuals suffering from PTSD by conducting an analysis of text data with 80% accuracy.

This machine learning model may, in the future, be used as an inexpensive and accessible screening method to help physicians detect and diagnose post-traumatic stress disorder or other mental conditions, via telehealth platforms.

Osmond, who specialized in psychiatry, theorized that some mental illnesses were brought about by chemical imbalances in the brain. Through his research in the ‘50s, he discovered that these hallucinogenic substances could be used to treat alcoholism. Alcoholism, or alcohol-use disorder, is defined as an addiction to drinking alcohol. The disorder develops as an individual drinks so much alcohol that their body becomes dependent on…

New Study Highlights How Sleep Patterns Are Impacted by Psilocybin
