Establishing a transdiagnostic dimension of early childhood depressive symptoms using the Preschool Feelings Checklist‐Scale

Abstract Background Young child depressive symptoms are associated with various concurrent and future psychiatric problems, indicating early transdiagnostic risk for psychopathology. We now need studies that identify and test the robustness, reliability, and validity of early emerging depressive symptom dimensions, exa...

Journal Pre-proof Specific, Replicable Behavioral and Neural Correlates of Sensory Over-Responsivity in Childhood

Editorial: Criticality: a novel brain metric associated with sleep that may elucidate sleep's influence on adolescent depression.

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) has been shown to have a bidirectional relationship with sleep. Adolescence is both the peak period of onset for MDD and a time of pronounced sleep disruption, yet the mechanisms linking disturbed sleep to depression risk remain poorly understood. We propose that brain criticality, an EE...

Intergenerational epigenetic signatures of prenatal adversity and their role in emerging child psychopathology

PSD was associated with epigenetic signatures at birth, with a subset of associations persisting across early childhood and converging on cellular stress response biology, suggesting differential biological embedding of structural versus psychological dimensions of adversity.
