Hello, friends, we have a new publication looking at Which depression symptoms matter most for functioning! Fatigue stands out. Anhedonia, appetite changes, and guilt also play key roles. Symptom-level approaches may improve functioning more than focusing on total severity.

We're hiring! The Emotion and Psychopathology in Context Lab at Harvard invites applications for a full-time RA/lab manager to start in 2026 summer. Ideal for students preparing for graduate study (e.g., clinical psych). Please consider sharing & applying! jobs.smartrecruiters.com/HarvardUnive...

Thanks to everybody who chimed in! I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist. So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>

Wanted to share news of the publication of this research paper with @auerbachlab.bsky.social and others. Using the EARS mobile sensing platform, we found that being homebound more than usual was associated with increased risk for suicidal behaviors in high-risk adolescents.

Digital psychiatry is an exciting field and includes efforts to enhance diagnosis and monitoring of mental illness using passive sensing (eg smartphone sensors). But the literature is rife with small N studies focusing on single diagnoses. That's a huge problem for two reasons... 1/

I put some more work into the suicide research feed for the new year.
