Temporal Network of Depressive Symptoms across College Students with Distinct Depressive Trajectories during the COVID-19 Pandemic

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

These exploratory findings demonstrate the directionality of relationships underlying individual symptoms in the youth and highlight suicidal ideation, sleep, and energy as potential influencers of other depressive symptoms across distinct depressive trajectories. Targeting those symptoms during the outbreak period of COVID 19 would theoretically have been beneficial in preventing and/or reducing the likelihood of spontaneous depression during the subsequent control period.
