Psychiatry is an area of medicine thatstrongly bases its diagnoses on the psychiatristssubjective appreciation. The taskof diagnosis loosely resembles the commonpipelines used in supervised learningschema. Therefore, we propose to augmentthe psychiatrists diagnosis toolboxwith an artificial intelligence system basedon natural language processing and machinelearning algorithms. This approachhas been validated in many works in whichthe performance of the diagnosis has beenincreased with the use of automatic classificatio
