Major depressive disorder (MDD) and anxiety disorders (AD) have high degrees of comorbidity and show great overlap in symptoms. The analysis of covarying depressive- and anxiety symptoms in longitudinal, sparse data panels has received limited attention. Dynamic time warping (DTW) analysis may help to provide new insights into symptom network properties based on diagnostic- and disease-state stability criteria. <i>Materials and Methods</i>. In the Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety depressive-, anxiety-, and worry symptoms were assessed four or five times over the course of 9 years using self-report questionnaires. The sample included 1,649 participants at baseline, comprising controls (<i>n</i> = 360), AD patients (<i>n</i> = 158), MDD patients (<i>n</i> = 265), and comorbid AD–MDD patients (<i>n</i> = 866). With DTW, 1,649 distance matrices were calculated, which yielded symptom networks and enabling comparison of network densities among subgroups. <i>Results</i>. The mean age of the sample was 41.5 years (standard deviations, 13.2), of whom 66.4% were female. The largest distance was between worry symptoms and physiological arousal symptoms, implicating the most dissimilar dynamics over time. The network density in the groups, from lowest to highest, followed the order: controls, AD, MDD, and comorbid AD–MDD. The comorbid group showed strongly connected mood and cognitive symptoms, which contrasted with the more strongly connected somatic and arousal symptoms in the AD and MDD groups. Groups that showed more transitions in disease states over follow-up, regardless of the diagnoses, had the highest network density compared to more stable states of health or disease (beta for quadratic term = −0.095; <i>P</i>  &lt; 0.001). <i>Conclusions</i>. Symptom networks over time can be visualized by applying DTW methods on sparse panel data. Network density was highest in patients with comorbid anxiety and depressive disorders and those with more instability in disease states, suggesting that a stronger internal connectivity may facilitate “critical transitions” within the complex systems framework.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55179,"journal":{"name":"Depression and Anxiety","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/4393070","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141631231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is being extensively explored as a potential primary screening tool for major depressive disorder (MDD) because of its portability, cost-effectiveness, and low susceptibility to motion artifacts. However, the fNIRS-based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) of MDD using deep learning methods has rarely been studied. In this study, we propose a novel deep learning framework based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) for the fNIRS-based CAD of MDD with high accuracy. <i>Materials and Methods</i>. The fNIRS data of participants—48 patients with MDD and 68 healthy controls (HCs)—were obtained while they performed a Stroop task. The hemodynamic responses calculated from the preprocessed fNIRS data were used as inputs to the proposed CNN model with an ensemble CNN architecture, comprising three 1D depth-wise convolutional layers specifically designed to reflect interhemispheric asymmetry in hemodynamic responses between patients with MDD and HCs, which is known to be a distinct characteristic in previous MDD studies. The performance of the proposed model was evaluated using a leave-one-subject-out cross-validation strategy and compared with those of conventional machine learning and CNN models. <i>Results</i>. The proposed model exhibited a high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 84.48%, 83.33%, and 85.29%, respectively. The accuracies of conventional machine learning algorithms—shrinkage linear discriminator analysis, regularized support vector machine, EEGNet, and ShallowConvNet—were 73.28%, 74.14%, 62.93%, and 62.07%, respectively. <i>Conclusions</i>. In conclusion, the proposed deep learning model can differentiate between the patients with MDD and HCs more accurately than the conventional models, demonstrating its applicability in fNIRS-based CAD systems.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55179,"journal":{"name":"Depression and Anxiety","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/4459867","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141624465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Major depressive disorder with anxiety (MDD-A) is considered as a clinical subphenotype of major depressive disorder (MDD). There continues to be debate regarding the legitimacy of differentiating between the two diagnoses and their neurobiological foundations, given that the symptoms of MDD and MDD-A overlap. However, there is still a dearth of research that delineates the dynamic alteration in the brain activity unique to anxiety in MDD with resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (R-fMRI). <i>Methods</i>. 30 patients with MDD, 45 patients with MDD-A, and 46 healthy controls completed R-fMRI scans. Dynamic analysis was utilized to generate many widely used measures, such as voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity, global signal correlation, regional homogeneity, amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations, and network degree centrality. Concordance between these indices was assessed with Kendall’s W coefficient for both volume and voxel-wise concordance. Finally, the differences in voxel-wise concordance among the groups were looked at, and their relationship to clinical factors was assessed. <i>Results</i>. Compared to the healthy control group, both MDD and MDD-A exhibited decreased dynamic R-fMRI indices in the bilateral calcarine, left postcentral gyrus, inferior parietal lobe, right lingual gyrus, and middle occipital gyrus. In comparison to the MDD group, the MDD-A group displayed a reduction in voxel-wise concordance in the left medial superior frontal gyrus. Furthermore, it was observed that the MDD and MDD-A groups both exhibited a negative correlation between anxiety levels and voxel-wise concordance in the left medial superior frontal gyrus. <i>Conclusions</i>. The aberrant voxel-wise concordance of the left medial superior frontal gyrus may differentiate the neurobiological aspects of MDD with anxiety symptom from MDD.

Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is increasingly used to monitor depressive symptoms in clinical trials, but little is known about the comparability of its outcomes to those of clinical interviews and questionnaires. In our study, we administered EMA and questionnaires to measure change in depressive symptoms and repetitive negative thinking (RNT) in a clinical trial and investigated (a) the size of intervention effects associated with both techniques and (b) their validity in predicting clinical interview outcomes (i.e., global functioning). <i>Materials and Methods</i>. Seventy-one depressed patients were randomly assigned to one of three psychological interventions. The EMA comprised a concise item set (four items per scale) and was administered three times per day during a 7-week intervention period. Conversely, questionnaires were assessed weekly (WQA), encompassing their full sets of items of depressive symptoms and RNT. <i>Results</i>. While EMA excelled in detecting significant intervention effects, WQA demonstrated greater strength in predicting clinician ratings of global functioning. Additionally, we observed significant differences in time effects (slopes) between the two techniques. WQA scores decreased steeper over time and were more extreme, e.g., higher at baseline and lower postintervention, than EMA scores. <i>Conclusions</i>. Although clinical interviews, questionnaires, and EMA outcomes are related, they assess changes in depression differently. EMA may be more sensitive to intervention effects, but all three methods harbor potential bias, raising validity and reliability questions. Therefore, to enhance the validity and reliability of clinical trial assessments, we emphasize the importance of EMA approaches that combine subjective self-reports with objectively measured behavioral markers.

Task-shifting using non-specialist providers (NSP) and transdiagnostic approaches may address this. Transdiagnostic approaches can be effective at treating CMDs and NPD in high-income countries (HIC), but currently, there is no comprehensive synthesis of evidence regarding their effectiveness in LAMICs. This review addressed this gap by examining the effectiveness of transdiagnostic psychological interventions for symptoms of CMDs and NPD delivered by NSPs in LAMICs. Three databases were searched (Embase, PsycInfo, and PubMed). Hedge’s <i>g</i>’s were calculated using random-effect models to correct for small sample bias. Twenty-one transdiagnostic interventions across 20 studies were included. Moderate reductions at posttreatment were found in psychological distress (g = −0.64; 95% CI: −0.81 to −0.46), symptoms of anxiety (g = −0.61; 95% CI: −0.80 to −0.42), depression (g = −0.59; 95% CI: −0.75 to −0.44), and PTSD/trauma (g = −0.38; 95% CI: −0.59 to −0.16), with significant small reductions maintained at follow-up ranging from 13 to 26 weeks for NPD (SMD = − 0.37; 95% CI: −0.57 to −0.17), anxiety (g = − 0.41; 95% CI: −0.91 to 0.09), depression (g = −0.38; 95% CI: −0.59 to −0.16), and trauma symptoms (g = −0.23; 95% CI: −0.42 to −0.05). These findings are important and suggest that transdiagnostic approaches delivered by NSPs are effective at treating symptoms of CMDs and NPD in LAMICs.
