BMC Med: Interaction of Depressive Symptoms and Related Psychopathological Processes During the Day of the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic

Background: The global epidemic caused by the new coronavirus is accompanied by an increase in mental stress among the general population.
Scholars call this situation a harmful mental symptom parallel to the epidemic
.

Among the symptom areas studied, the transcontinental elevation of depressive symptoms is considered to be an area worthy of further research and attention

The global epidemic caused by the new coronavirus is accompanied by an increase in mental stress among the general population.

Results: Among the psychopathological mechanisms studied, helplessness has the greatest impact on depression symptoms, and emotional regulation difficulties and symptomatology show a closer interaction
.

Helplessness is further related to the amplification of other theoretical psychopathological mechanisms, including contemplation, which is more susceptible to depression rather than temporary effects

Figure 2 The temporal (top), simultaneous (middle) and inter-subject (bottom) networks derived from the multi-level vector autoregressive (VAR) model show the connections between nodes while controlling all other nodes in the network
.

The strongest edges include the time network coefficient=0.

.

Through the node's influence on other nodes in a continuous day (ie OutStrength) or the extent to which it was affected by other nodes in the network (ie strength) in the previous day, the direct participation degree of the node throughout the day can be revealed

Figure 4 shows a radar chart showing intensity centrality (that is, the sum of all absolute edge weights connected to a node), which quantifies the overall weighted connectivity of nodes in the same period (left) and inter-subjects (right) network models

Conclusion: Helplessness is the main mechanism for predicting the amplification of adverse symptoms
.

Drowsiness and worthlessness show greater intrinsic effects, and initial signs indicate that these symptoms may be more strongly linked to the experience that pushes the individual into a long-term depressive state

Drowsiness and worthlessness show greater intrinsic effects, and initial signs indicate that these symptoms may be more strongly linked to the experience that pushes the individual into a long-term depressive state
.
The psychopathological process of contemplation, helplessness, and emotional regulation only interacts with the depressive mood and worthless components of depression, and has nothing to do with sleepiness and anhedonia
.
This discovery has important implications for the study of depressive symptoms during and after the new crown epidemic
