Background Predicting future states of psychopathology such as depressive episodes has
been a hallmark initiative in mental health research. Dynamical systems theory has …

Background In complex systems early warning signals such as rising autocorrelation,
variance and network connectivity are hypothesized to anticipate relevant shifts in a system …

Based on dynamical systems theory, the current study aimed to investigate if recurrence of
depression is systematically preceded by within-person early warning signals (EWS) in …

Drawing on dynamical systems theory, we investigated whether within-persons-detected
early-warning signals in momentary affect preceded critical transitions toward lower levels of …

The etiology of mental disorders such as major depression (MD) involves continuously
ongoing gene-environment interactions that act in highly person-specific ways. This …

Background As depression is highly heterogenous, an increasing number of studies
investigate person-specific associations of depressive symptoms in longitudinal data …

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is conceptualized by individual symptoms occurring most
of the day for at least two weeks. Despite this operationalization, MDD is highly variable with …

BackgroundInternational guidelines present overall symptom severity as the key dimension
for clinical characterisation of major depressive disorder (MDD). However, differences may …

Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) shows large heterogeneity of symptoms
between patients, but within patients, particular symptom clusters may show similar …

Individual variation is increasingly recognized as important to psychopathology research.
Concurrently, new methods of analysis based on network models are bringing new …
