The network structure of core depressive symptom-domains in major depressive disorder following antidepressant treatment: a randomized clinical trial.

TL;DR: The utility of focusing on the dynamic interaction between depressive symptoms to better understand how the treatment with ADs unfolds over time is highlighted, and depressed mood, fatigue, and cognitive/psychomotor disturbance seem to be central MDD symptoms that may be viable targets for novel, focused therapeutic interventions.

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.
