Quantifying the Reliability and Replicability of Psychopathology Network Characteristics.

TL;DR: The present study compared the existing suite of methods for maximizing and quantifying the stability and consistency of PMRF networks with a set of metrics for directly comparing the detailed network characteristics interpreted in the literature and concluded that the limited reliability of the detailed characteristics of networks observed here is likely to be common in practice, but overlooked by current methods.

Eating disorder core symptoms and symptom pathways across developmental stages: A network analysis.

TL;DR: Several symptoms related to overeating, food avoidance, feeling full, and overvaluation of weight and shape emerged as central in most or all developmental stages, suggesting that some core symptoms remain central across development.

Toward incorporating genetic risk scores into symptom networks of psychosis

TL;DR: The current exploratory study provides a first application of the network framework to the field of behavior genetics research, which allows for a novel outlook on the investigation of the relations between genome-wide association study-based PRSs and symptoms of mental disorders, by focusing on the dependencies among variables.

The p Factor: One General Psychopathology Factor in the Structure of Psychiatric Disorders?

TL;DR: The structure of psychopathology is examined, taking into account dimensionality, persistence, co-occurrence, and sequential comorbidity of mental disorders across 20 years, from adolescence to midlife, to explain why it is challenging to find causes, consequences, biomarkers, and treatments with specificity to individual mental disorders.
