> The researchers could even use network activity to predict whether a person would have a depressive episode the following week. If that gets replicated then it would be an amazing finding. Imagine if this leads to easier ways of early predictions that might lead to preventative interventions in the future. Also, so many people who never experienced depression seem to be unable to think of it in any other way than a Very Bad Mood, and think it can be fixed in a similar way. This would finally provide a physical thing to point to to convince them that no, it really is not the same thing and needs a different intervention.
