The prevalence of stress-related disorders has increased significantly in recent years, necessitating scalable methods to identify affected individuals. This paper proposes a novel approach utilizing large language models (LLMs), with a focus on OpenAI's generative pre-trained transformer (GPT-3) embeddings and machine learning (ML) algorithms to classify social media posts as indicative or not of stress disorders. The aim is to create a preliminary screening tool leveraging online textual data. GPT-3 embeddings transformed posts into vector representations capturing semantic meaning and linguistic nuances. Various models, including support vector machines, random forests, XGBoost, KNN, and neural networks, were trained on a dataset of >10,000 labeled social media posts. The top model, a support vector machine, achieved 83% accuracy in classifying posts displaying signs of stress.
