In this paper, we present the contributions of the BLUE team in the 2021 edition of the workshop, in which we tackle the problems of early detection of gambling addiction, self-harm and estimating depression severity from social media posts. We employ pre-trained BERT transformers and data crawled automatically from mental health subreddits and obtain reasonable results on all three tasks.
