Rumination as a transdiagnostic factor in depression and anxiety. (2011, background): “Abundant evidence has documented strong temporal relationships between symptoms of anxiety and depression and high levels of successive comorbidity between major depression and anxiety disorders (Merikangas et al., 2003; Moffit et al., 2007; Pine et al., 1998).”
How common are common mental disorders? Evidence that lifetime prevalence rates are doubled by prospective versus retrospective ascertainment (2009, background): “We previously reported that our ‘net ’ of 1-year DIS diagnoses at ages 18, 21, 26 and 32 has captured all but eight of the cohort members who reported treatment for mental-health or substance-use problems between assessment windows (Moffitt et al. 2007).”
Developing interpretation bias modification as a "cognitive vaccine" for depressed mood: imagining positive events makes you feel better than thinking about them verbally. (2009, background): “As indicated by Experiment 1, our positive imagery training condition may have benefits related to both analogues of anxiety and depression, which may be useful in reality given their high comorbidity (Moffitt et al., 2007).”
The development of a brief psychodynamic protocol for depression: Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT) (2010, background): “anxiety, various personality disorders) (Kessler et al., 2003; Moffitt et al., 2007).”
Comorbidity of Anxiety and Depression in Children and Adolescents: 20 Years After (2013, positive): “Longitudinal data suggest that GAD and MDD cross-predict each other more strongly than each disorder predicts itself over time (Copeland, Shanahan, Costello, & Angold, 2009; Moffitt et al., 2007; Pine et al., 1998).”
Comorbidity patterns of anxiety and depressive disorders in a large cohort study: the Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety (NESDA). (2011, methodology): “1,17,18,31,40 Our finding that MDD preceded anxiety disorders in 18% of comorbid cases, had a simultaneous onset in 24% of comorbid cases, and occurred after anxiety onset in 58% of comorbid cases is in line with the 8%–15% preceding MDD, 18%–29% simultaneous onset, and 59%–69% of preceding anxiety…”
All for one and one for all: Mental disorders in one dimension (2018, background): “This developmental progressionhypothesis is consistentwithevidence that sequential comorbidity is the rule rather than the exception (59) and that individuals experiencing sequentially comorbid disorders also exhibit more severe psychopathology (16).”
