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

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 Despite the increasing understanding of factors that might underlie psychiatric
disorders, prospectively detecting shifts from a healthy towards a symptomatic state has …

Empirical evidence is mounting that monitoring momentary experiences for the presence of
early warning signals (EWS) may allow for personalized predictions of meaningful symptom …

We present a dataset of a single (N= 1) participant diagnosed with major depressive
disorder, who completed 1478 measurements over the course of 239 consecutive days in …

About 17% of humanity goes through an episode of major depression at some point in their
lifetime. Despite the enormous societal costs of this incapacitating disorder, it is largely …

Affective dynamics have been increasingly recognized as important indicators of emotional
health and well-being. Depression has been associated with altered affective dynamics, but …

OBJECTIVE: Daily life affective responses are closely linked to vulnerability and resilience in
depression. Prediction of future clinical course may be improved if information on daily life …

Many real-world systems can exhibit tipping points and multiple stable states, creating the
potential for sudden and difficult to reverse transitions into a less desirable regime. The …
