Moving toward transdiagnostic dimensional models of neurodiversity and mental health-rather than dimensional models of psychopathology-embraces neurodiversity as human diversity and destigmatizes neurodivergence. Individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions do not need to be \"cured\" of neurodivergence as pathology, but the inclusion of neurodevelopmental conditions in transdiagnostic dimensional models does recognize the high co-occurrence of different neurodevelopmental conditions with each other and with mental health concerns and increases access to appropriate and needed supports to improve well-being across the lifespan. Increasing recognition that neurodiversity is part of human diversity prompts reconsideration of the current dominant conceptualization of neurodivergence as inherently atypical or pathological. \"Neurodiversity\" refers to the tremendous range of possible variations in brain function, neurocognition, and behavior-no two brains or minds function in exactly the same way. \"Neurodivergent,\" often contrasted with \"neurotypical,\" refers to a brain or mind that functions in a way that deviates from culturally normative expectations. Neurodivergence may manifest in different ways and to varying degrees-and be more or less adaptive at different times, in different contexts, or from different perspectives. \"Neurodevelopmental conditions\" are characterized by neurodivergence, including early-arising differences that affect cognition, motor function, sensation, perception, and/or communication and are currently included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition in the \"Neurodevelopmental Disorders\" chapter. The authors propose a distinction between neurodevelopmental conditions and mental health conditions such that DSM neurodevelopmental disorders should no longer be subsumed under the mental disorder classification but instead reclassified alongside them, resulting in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Neurodevelopmental and Mental Disorders.

The present study explores emotion regulation as a potential mediator of the reciprocal associations between depressive symptoms and sleep problems and examines gender differences. A total of 1,535 adolescents (47.4% girls; baseline Mage = 13.19 years) were included in this four-wave longitudinal study with 6-month intervals. We used random-intercept cross-lagged panel models to examine our research questions. The results indicated that increases in sleep problems significantly predicted more depressive symptoms 6 months later but not vice versa. Emotion regulation mediated the reciprocal associations between depressive symptoms and sleep problems. Multigroup analyses on the associations among depressive symptoms, sleep problems, and emotion regulation showed that sleep problems predicted depressive symptoms, but not vice versa, in both girls and boys. However, emotion regulation was a mediator only in girls but not boys. These findings support the critical role of sleep problems in the development of depressive symptoms, underscoring the necessity for early and targeted sleep interventions. Emotion regulation was shown to mediate the reciprocal associations between depressive symptoms and sleep problems in girls only highlighting the need for more focus on gender differences and a need for gender-sensitive intervention strategies.

Case conceptualization seeks to understand a patient's unique psychopathology by generating and continuously updating hypotheses about predisposing, precipitating, and maintaining factors. This study introduces a new data-driven method to formalize this process with personalized network estimation, combining prior elicitation and Bayesian inference. It is the first to test its clinical usefulness with 12 patients, primarily treated for depression, and their therapists (preregistered and can be found as the additional online materials: https://osf.io/38qdx). Patients employed the Perceived Causal Networks method to create personalized \"prior networks,\" mapping how they perceived their symptoms to interact. Bayesian inference was used to update these prior networks using longitudinal data collected subsequently 6 times daily over 15 days (N = 935), resulting in personalized \"posterior networks.\" Both Perceived Causal Networks and longitudinal assessments were evaluated as feasible and acceptable. Face validity was scored highest for the posterior networks. Patients emphasized the personal relevance of these networks, while therapists noted their value in guiding the therapeutic process. However, prior, posterior, and data networks showed significant dissimilarities. These differences may stem from patients' limited insight into symptom interactions, insufficient power in the longitudinal data, or variations in self-perception. Despite some inconsistencies, the study shows potential for combining two methods to create personalized models of psychopathology, highlighting the need for future research to refine this formalization process into a more rigorous theoretical-empirical cycle to test these models.

State-level affect, food craving, and reward dysfunction have all been implicated as vulnerabilities to recurrent LOCE, mostly studied in the context of binge eating (i.e., LOCE with objective overeating). Hypothetical purchase tasks are a behavioral economic approach to assessing the reward value of a given behavior or commodity, which have typically been used in substance use literature. The current study tested a momentary mediation model in which positive and negative affect at Time 1 was hypothesized to predict Time 2 food demand (assessed using three variables from an ambulatory food purchase task), in turn leading to LOCE at Time 3 by way of Time 2 craving (affect → food demand → craving → LOCE). This model was assessed using a 10-day ecological momentary assessment protocol in 78 community adults with recurrent LOCE (87% female, 71% White). At the within-subjects (i.e., momentary) level, LOCE was predicted by prior food craving. Food reward value metrics additionally mediated the LOCE antecedent of negative affect, but not positive affect. Interestingly, between subjects, the relationship between craving and LOCE was unexpectedly negative, and only negative affect was associated with subsequent LOCE, by way of time two craving but not time two food reward value. Clinical implications and future directions are discussed.

However, little is known about why people select suicide instead of other ways to escape (e.g., alcohol/drug use). One possibility is that suicide-related stimuli in one's environment (e.g., suicide methods) bias this decision, particularly when such stimuli elicit little aversion. We tested whether suicide-related stimuli bias decisions to escape acute distress. We recruited 360 adults with past 3-month active suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB; n = 120), elevated psychiatric symptoms without STB (n = 152), or no symptoms/STB (n = 88). Participants explicitly rated personalized suicide pictures (e.g., pointing a gun up at oneself) and positive contrasts and completed a behavioral task, where they made decisions to escape an acutely distressing noise in relation to these stimuli. We used a computational model of task performance to capture latent biases hypothetically influencing decision making. We assessed STB 3 months later. Results indicated that people with a past suicide attempt exhibited much lower suicide aversion than others. In the behavioral task, the suicidal group made more impulsive escape decisions in relation to suicide versus positive stimuli. The computational model helped explain this effect, capturing a latent bias driven by the suicide stimuli. Within the suicidal group, weaker biases mediated the association between lower suicide aversion and higher odds of past suicide attempt. These results provide evidence of novel, specific, incrementally valid, and objectively assessed suicide-attempt correlate and suggest that decision science is useful for understanding mechanisms increasing risk for suicide and other escape-related phenomena involving stimulus-driven processes (e.g., substance misuse, and anxiety).

This study examines the stability of strength centrality in idiographic networks in a sample of participants with eating disorders (N = 26, 90-day assessment, M = 356.00 observations per person) and a second sample of participants with social anxiety disorder (N = 42, 30-day assessment, M = 201.90 observations per person). We estimated idiographic networks using three different item-inclusion approaches and accounted for time using a \"sliding window\" method (e.g., Window 1 = data from Days 1-15, Window 2 = data from Days 2-16). Items included in networks were selected in three ways: default networks (six items with the highest means at Window 1), changing means networks (six items with the highest means at each respective Window), and random ensembles (random combinations of any six items across all sliding windows). In both samples, we found that the most central symptom in the default network was central in less than half of idiographic changing means networks (maximum = 29.41% of networks). Our results show that node strength centrality estimates are sensitive to item ensemble and temporal effects. We discuss implications concerning inferences assigned to strength centrality given the frequency at which strength centrality changes and future efforts developing network-informed personalized treatment.

Individuals with MDD (N = 258) completed ecological momentary assessments three times a day (including the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 [PHQ-9] and a free-text diary entry) and weekly ecological momentary assessments (including a free-text response to a life events prompt) over a 90-day study period.
