Abstract
Significant trauma histories and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are common in persons with substance use disorders (SUD) and often associate with increased SUD severity and poorer response to SUD treatment. As such, this sub-population has been associated with unique risk factors and treatment needs. Understanding the distinct etiological profile of persons with co-occurring SUD and PTSD is therefore crucial for advancing our knowledge of underlying mechanisms and the development of precision treatments. To this end, we employed supervised machine learning algorithms to interrogate the responses of 160 participants with SUD on the multidimensional NIDA Phenotyping Assessment Battery. Significant PTSD symptomatology was correctly predicted in 75% of participants (sensitivity: 80%; specificity: 72.22%) using a classification-based model based on anxiety and depressive symptoms, perseverative thinking styles, and interoceptive awareness. A regression-based machine learning model also utilized similar predictors, but failed to accurately predict severity of PTSD symptoms. These data indicate that even in a population already characterized by elevated negative affect (individuals with SUD), especially severe negative affect was predictive of PTSD symptomatology. In a follow-up analysis of a subset of 102 participants who also completed neurocognitive tasks, comorbidity status was correctly predicted in 86.67% of participants (sensitivity: 91.67%; specificity: 66.67%) based on depressive symptoms and fear-related attentional bias. However, a regression-based analysis did not identify fear-related attentional bias as a splitting factor, but instead split and categorized the sample based on indices of aggression, metacognition, distress tolerance, and interoceptive awareness. These data indicate that within a population of individuals with SUD, aberrations in tolerating and regulating aversive internal experiences may also characterize those with significant trauma histories, akin to findings in persons with anxiety without SUD. The results also highlight the need for further research on PTSD-SUD comorbidity that includes additional comparison groups (i.e., persons with only PTSD), captures additional comorbid diagnoses that may influence the PTSD-SUD relationship, examines additional types of SUDs (e.g., alcohol use disorder), and differentiates between subtypes of PTSD.

Abstract
SUMMARY
There is a debate in psychiatry regarding whether it is better to use neo-Kraepelinian diagnostic categories or unitary models of psychosis in clinical practice. This article argues that clinicians should use either model as appropriate for the case in question, along with the conceptual framework used in the clinical management of psychosis without a clear biological cause. It first explores the values involved in the development of psychiatric classification systems, the purpose of classification and how we reached the current DSM/ICD and unitary models of psychosis. It then describes a diagnostic approach in which the choice of model should depend on the case in question, and offers a diagnostic protocol to guide the decision.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Altered functional connectivity (FC) is a common finding in resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) studies of people with psychosis, yet how FC disturbances evolve in the early stages of illness, and how antipsychotic treatment influences these disturbances, remains unknown. OBJECTIVE To investigate longitudinal FC changes in antipsychotic-naive and antipsychotic-treated patients with first-episode psychosis (FEP). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This secondary analysis of a triple-blind, randomized clinical trial was conducted over a 5-year recruitment period between April 2008 and December 2016 with 59 antipsychotic-naive patients with FEP receiving either a second-generation antipsychotic or a placebo pill over a treatment period of 6 months. Participants were required to have low suicidality and aggression, to have a duration of untreated psychosis of less than 6 months, and to be living in stable accommodations with social support. Both FEP groups received intensive psychosocial therapy. A healthy control group was also recruited. Participants completed rs-fMRI scans at baseline, 3 months, and 12 months. Data were analyzed from May 2019 to August 2020. INTERVENTIONS Resting-state functional MRI was used to probe brain FC. Patients received either a second-generation antipsychotic or a matched placebo tablet. Both patient groups received a manualized psychosocial intervention. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcomes of this analysis were to investigate (1) FC differences between patients and controls at baseline; (2) FC changes in medicated and unmedicated patients between baseline and 3 months; and (3) associations between longitudinal FC changes and clinical outcomes. An additional aim was to investigate long-term FC changes at 12 months after baseline. These outcomes were not preregistered. RESULTS Data were analyzed for 59 patients (antipsychotic medication plus psychosocial treatment: 28 [47.5%]; mean [SD] age, 19.5 [3.0] years; 15 men [53.6%]; placebo plus psychosocial treatment: 31 [52.5%]; mean [SD] age, 18.8 [2.7]; 16 men [51.6%]) and 27 control individuals (mean [SD] age, 21.9 [1.9] years). At baseline, patients showed widespread functional dysconnectivity compared with controls, with reductions predominantly affecting interactions between the default mode network, limbic systems, and the rest of the brain. From baseline to 3 months, patients receiving placebo showed increased FC principally within the same systems; some of these changes correlated with improved clinical outcomes (canonical correlation analysis R = 0.901; familywise error-corrected P = .005). Antipsychotic exposure was associated with increased FC primarily between the thalamus and the rest of the brain. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this secondary analysis of a clinical trial, antipsychotic-naive patients with FEP showed widespread functional dysconnectivity at baseline, followed by an early normalization of default mode network and cortical limbic dysfunction in patients receiving placebo and psychosocial intervention. Antipsychotic exposure was associated with FC changes concentrated on thalamocortical networks. TRIAL REGISTRATION ACTRN12607000608460.

Abstract
Starting with the dichotomous view of Kraepelin, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have traditionally been considered as separate entities. More recent, this taxonomic view of illnesses has been challenged and a continuum psychosis has been postulated based on genetic and neurobiological findings suggestive of a large overlap between disorders. In this paper we will review clinical and experimental data from genetics, morphology, phenomenology and illness progression demonstrating what makes schizophrenia and bipolar disorder different conditions, challenging the idea of the obsolescence of the categorical approach. However, perhaps it is also time to move beyond DSM and search for more refined clinical descriptions that could uncover clinical invariants matching better with molecular data. In the future, computational psychiatry employing artificial intelligence and machine learning might provide us a tool to overcome the gap between clinical descriptions (phenomenology) and neurobiology.

Abstract
Preventive approaches have latterly gained traction for improving mental health in young people. In this paper, we first appraise the conceptual foundations of preventive psychiatry, encompassing the public health, Gordon's, US Institute of Medicine, World Health Organization, and good mental health frameworks, and neurodevelopmentally-sensitive clinical staging models. We then review the evidence supporting primary prevention of psychotic, bipolar and common mental disorders and promotion of good mental health as potential transformative strategies to reduce the incidence of these disorders in young people. Within indicated approaches, the clinical high-risk for psychosis paradigm has received the most empirical validation, while clinical high-risk states for bipolar and common mental disorders are increasingly becoming a focus of attention. Selective approaches have mostly targeted familial vulnerability and non-genetic risk exposures. Selective screening and psychological/psychoeducational interventions in vulnerable subgroups may improve anxiety/depressive symptoms, but their efficacy in reducing the incidence of psychotic/bipolar/common mental disorders is unproven. Selective physical exercise may reduce the incidence of anxiety disorders. Universal psychological/psychoeducational interventions may improve anxiety symptoms but not prevent depressive/anxiety disorders, while universal physical exercise may reduce the incidence of anxiety disorders. Universal public health approaches targeting school climate or social determinants (demographic, economic, neighbourhood, environmental, social/cultural) of mental disorders hold the greatest potential for reducing the risk profile of the population as a whole. The approach to promotion of good mental health is currently fragmented. We leverage the knowledge gained from the review to develop a blueprint for future research and practice of preventive psychiatry in young people: integrating universal and targeted frameworks; advancing multivariable, transdiagnostic, multi-endpoint epidemiological knowledge; synergically preventing common and infrequent mental disorders; preventing physical and mental health burden together; implementing stratified/personalized prognosis; establishing evidence-based preventive interventions; developing an ethical framework, improving prevention through education/training; consolidating the cost-effectiveness of preventive psychiatry; and decreasing inequalities. These goals can only be achieved through an urgent individual, societal, and global level response, which promotes a vigorous collaboration across scientific, health care, societal and governmental sectors for implementing preventive psychiatry, as much is at stake for young people with or at risk for emerging mental disorders.

Abstract
Diagnostic heterogeneity within and across psychotic and affective disorders challenges accurate treatment selection, particularly in the early stages. Delineation of shared and distinct illness features at the phenotypic and brain levels may inform the development of more precise differential diagnostic tools. We aimed to identify prototypes of depression and psychosis to investigate their heterogeneity, with common, comorbid transdiagnostic symptoms. Analyzing clinical/neurocognitive and grey matter volume (GMV) data from the PRONIA database, we generated prototypic models of recent-onset depression (ROD) vs. recent-onset psychosis (ROP) by training support-vector machines to separate patients with ROD from patients with ROP, who were selected for absent comorbid features (pure groups). Then, models were applied to patients with comorbidity, ie, ROP with depressive symptoms (ROP+D) and ROD participants with sub-threshold psychosis-like features (ROD+P), to measure their positions within the affective-psychotic continuum. All models were independently validated in a replication sample. Comorbid patients were positioned between pure groups, with ROP+D patients being more frequently classified as ROD compared to pure ROP patients (clinical/neurocognitive model: χ2 = 14.874; P < .001; GMV model: χ2 = 4.933; P = .026). ROD+P patient classification did not differ from ROD (clinical/neurocognitive model: χ2 = 1.956; P = 0.162; GMV model: χ2 = 0.005; P = .943). Clinical/neurocognitive and neuroanatomical models demonstrated separability of prototypic depression from psychosis. The shift of comorbid patients toward the depression prototype, observed at the clinical and biological levels, suggests that psychosis with affective comorbidity aligns more strongly to depressive rather than psychotic disease processes. Future studies should assess how these quantitative measures of comorbidity predict outcomes and individual responses to stratified therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Psychotic disorders in ICD-11: the revisions Abstract. This article provides an overview of the main changes to the chapter "Schizophrenia or Other Primary Psychotic Disorders" (6A2) from ICD-10 to ICD-11 and compares them with the psychosis chapter of DSM-5. These changes include abandoning the classical subtypes of Schizophrenia as well as of the special significance of Schneider's first-rank symptoms, resulting in the general requirement of two key features (one must be a positive symptom) in the definition of "Schizophrenia" (6A20) and the allowance for bizarre contents in "Delusional Disorder" (6A24), which now includes "Induced Delusional Disorder" (F24). Further introduced are the focus on the current episode, the restriction of "Acute and Transient Psychotic Disorder" (6A23) to the former Polymorphic Disorder Without Schizophrenic Symptoms (F23.0), the diagnosis of delusional "Obsessive-Compulsive or Related Disorders" (6B2) exclusively as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders, the specification of "Schizoaffective Disorder" (6A21), and the formulation of a distinct subchapter "Catatonia" (6A4) for the assessment of catatonic features in the context of several disorders. In analogy to DSM-5, ICD-11 now includes the optional category "Symptomatic Manifestations of Primary Psychotic Disorders" (6A25) for the dimensional quantification of symptoms. Again, developmental aspects remain unattended in in the ICD-11-definitions of psychotic disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Affective psychosis is a common mental disorder characterized by structural/functional brain abnormalities, which seem to occur also at the early stages of the disease. However, the role of psychotropic medications on brain structure and function in affective first episode psychosis (A-FEP) still remains uncertain. Therefore, with this review we aim to gain more robust understanding regarding the potential effect of pharmacological treatments on the brain in A-FEP patients also experiencing a first manic episode. METHODS A search on PuBMed and Web of Science of longitudinal structural and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as well as Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) studies, exploring the effect of medications on the brain in A-FEP, was conducted. We selected nine studies, three randomized or pseudo-randomized controlled trials and six observational studies. RESULTS Overall the studies showed that a) mood stabilizers (MS) have no effect on gray matter (GM) volumes and a protective role on white matter (WM) volumes, b) antipsychotics (AP) have an unclear effect on GM volumes and a less potent effect on WM volumes compared to MS and c) both MS and AP tend to normalize brain activation and connectivity. LIMITATIONS The small sample size, the observational design of the majority of the studies and the different methodological approaches limit the conclusion of this review. CONCLUSIONS Medications seem to have a minor role on structural changes occurring in A-FEP patients during the early stages of the disease, while their effect on brain activation and connectivity seems more pronounced, but far to be conclusive.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of precision psychiatry for clinical practice has not been systematically appraised. This study aims to provide a comprehensive review of validated prediction models to estimate the individual risk of being affected with a condition (diagnostic), developing outcomes (prognostic), or responding to treatments (predictive) in mental disorders. METHODS PRISMA/RIGHT/CHARMS-compliant systematic review of the Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Reviews, and Ovid/PsycINFO databases from inception until July 21, 2019 (PROSPERO CRD42019155713) to identify diagnostic/prognostic/predictive prediction studies that reported individualized estimates in psychiatry and that were internally or externally validated or implemented. Random effect meta-regression analyses addressed the impact of several factors on the accuracy of prediction models. FINDINGS Literature search identified 584 prediction modeling studies, of which 89 were included. 10.4% of the total studies included prediction models internally validated (n = 61), 4.6% models externally validated (n = 27), and 0.2% (n = 1) models considered for implementation. Across validated prediction modeling studies (n = 88), 18.2% were diagnostic, 68.2% prognostic, and 13.6% predictive. The most frequently investigated condition was psychosis (36.4%), and the most frequently employed predictors clinical (69.5%). Unimodal compared to multimodal models (β = .29, P = .03) and diagnostic compared to prognostic (β = .84, p < .0001) and predictive (β = .87, P = .002) models were associated with increased accuracy. INTERPRETATION To date, several validated prediction models are available to support the diagnosis and prognosis of psychiatric conditions, in particular, psychosis, or to predict treatment response. Advancements of knowledge are limited by the lack of implementation research in real-world clinical practice. A new generation of implementation research is required to address this translational gap.

Abstract
Background Striatal dopamine dysfunction is thought to underlie symptoms in psychosis, yet it remains unclear how a single neurotransmitter could cause the diverse presentations that are observed clinically. One hypothesis is that the consequences of aberrant dopamine signaling vary depending on where within the striatum the dysfunction occurs. Positron emission tomography allows for the quantification of dopamine function across the striatum. In the current study, we used a novel method to investigate the relationship between spatial variability in dopamine synthesis capacity and psychotic symptoms. Methods We used a multimodal imaging approach combining 18F-DOPA positron emission tomography and resting-state magnetic resonance imaging in 29 patients with first-episode psychosis and 21 healthy control subjects. In each participant, resting-state functional connectivity maps were used to quantify the functional connectivity of each striatal voxel to well-established cortical networks. Network-specific striatal dopamine synthesis capacity (Kicer) was then calculated for the resulting connectivity-defined parcellations. Results The connectivity-defined parcellations generated Kicer values with equivalent reliability, and significantly greater orthogonality compared with standard anatomical parcellation methods. As a result, dopamine-symptom associations were significantly different from one another for different subdivisions, whereas no unique subdivision relationships were found when using an anatomical parcellation. In particular, dopamine function within striatal areas connected to the default mode network was strongly associated with negative symptoms (p < .001). Conclusions These findings suggest that individual differences in the topography of dopamine dysfunction within the striatum contribute to shaping psychotic symptomatology. Further validation of the novel approach in future studies is necessary.

Abstract
Despite extensive research and prodigious advances in neuroscience, our comprehension of the nature of schizophrenia remains rudimentary. Our failure to make progress is attributed to the extreme heterogeneity of this condition, enormous complexity of the human brain, limitations of extant research paradigms, and inadequacy of traditional statistical methods to integrate or interpret increasingly large amounts of multidimensional information relevant to unravelling brain function. Fortunately, the rapidly developing science of machine learning appears to provide tools capable of addressing each of these impediments. Enthusiasm about the potential of machine learning methods to break the current impasse is reflected in the steep increase in the number of scientific publication about the application of machine learning to the study of schizophrenia. Machine learning approaches are, however, poorly understood by schizophrenia researchers and clinicians alike. In this paper, we provide a simple description of the nature and techniques of machine learning and their application to the study of schizophrenia. We then summarize its potential and constraints with illustrations from six studies of machine learning in schizophrenia and address some common misconceptions about machine learning. We suggest some guidelines for researchers, readers, science editors and reviewers of the burgeoning machine learning literature in schizophrenia. In order to realize its enormous promise, we suggest the need for the disciplined application of machine learning methods to the study of schizophrenia with a clear recognition of its capability and challenges accompanied by a concurrent effort to improve machine learning literacy among neuroscientists and mental health professionals.

Abstract
The ubiquity of smartphones opened up the possibility of widespread use of the Experience Sampling Method (ESM). The method is used to collect longitudinal data of participants' daily life experiences and is ideal to capture fluctuations in emotions (momentary mental states) as an indicator for later mental ill-health. In this study, ESM data of patients with psychosis spectrum disorder and controls were used to examine daily life emotions and higher order patterns thereof. We attempted to determine whether aggregated ESM data, in which statistical measures represent the distribution and dynamics of the original data, were able to distinguish patients from controls in a predictive modeling framework. Variable importance, recursive feature elimination, and ReliefF methods were used for feature selection. Model training, tuning, and testing were performed in nested cross-validation, based on algorithms such as Random Forests, Support Vector Machines, Gaussian Processes, Logistic Regression, and Neural Networks. ROC analysis was used to post-process these models. Stability of model performance was studied using Monte Carlo simulations. The results provide evidence that patterns in emotion changes can be captured by applying a combination of these techniques. Acceleration in the variables anxious and insecure was particularly successful in adding further predictive power to the models. The best results were achieved by Support Vector Machines with radial kernel (accuracy = 82% and sensitivity = 82%). This proof-of-concept work demonstrates that synergistic machine learning and statistical modeling may be used to harness the power of ESM data in the future.

Abstract
The usefulness of current psychiatric classification, which is based on ICD/DSM categorical diagnoses, remains questionable. A promising alternative has been put forward as the "transdiagnostic" approach. This is expected to cut across existing categorical diagnoses and go beyond them, to improve the way we classify and treat mental disorders. This systematic review explores whether self-defining transdiagnostic research meets such high expectations. A multi-step Web of Science literature search was performed according to an a priori protocol, to identify all studies that used the word "transdiagnostic" in their title, up to May 5, 2018. Empirical variables which indexed core characteristics were extracted, complemented by a bibliometric and conceptual analysis. A total of 111 studies were included. Most studies were investigating interventions, followed by cognition and psychological processes, and neuroscientific topics. Their samples ranged from 15 to 91,199 (median 148) participants, with a mean age from 10 to more than 60 (median 33) years. There were several methodological inconsistencies relating to the definition of the gold standard (DSM/ICD diagnoses), of the outcome measures and of the transdiagnostic approach. The quality of the studies was generally low and only a few findings were externally replicated. The majority of studies tested transdiagnostic features cutting across different diagnoses, and only a few tested new classification systems beyond the existing diagnoses. About one fifth of the studies were not transdiagnostic at all, because they investigated symptoms and not disorders, a single disorder, or because there was no diagnostic information. The bibliometric analysis revealed that transdiagnostic research largely restricted its focus to anxiety and depressive disorders. The conceptual analysis showed that transdiagnostic research is grounded more on rediscoveries than on true innovations, and that it is affected by some conceptual biases. To date, transdiagnostic approaches have not delivered a credible paradigm shift that can impact classification and clinical care. Practical "TRANSD"iagnostic recommendations are proposed here to guide future research in this field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early illness course correlates with long-term outcome in psychosis. Accurate prediction could allow more focused intervention. Earlier intervention corresponds to significantly better symptomatic and functional outcomes. Our study objective is to use routinely collected baseline demographic and clinical characteristics to predict employment, education or training (EET) status, and symptom remission in patients with first episode psychosis (FEP) at one-year. METHODS AND FINDINGS 83 FEP patients were recruited from National Health Service (NHS) Glasgow between 2011 and 2014 to a 24-month prospective cohort study with regular assessment of demographic and psychometric measures. An external independent cohort of 79 FEP patients were recruited from NHS Glasgow and Edinburgh during a 12-month study between 2006 and 2009. Elastic net regularised logistic regression models were built to predict binary EET status, period and point remission outcomes at one-year on 83 Glasgow patients (training dataset). Models were externally validated on an independent dataset of 79 patients from Glasgow and Edinburgh (validation dataset). Only baseline predictors shared across both cohorts were made available for model training and validation. After excluding participants with missing outcomes, models were built on the training dataset for EET status, period and point remission outcomes and externally validated on the validation dataset. Models predicted EET status, period and point remission with receiver operating curve (ROC) area under the curve (AUC) performances of 0.876 (95%CI: 0.864, 0.887), 0.630 (95%CI: 0.612, 0.647) and 0.652 (95%CI: 0.635, 0.670) respectively. Positive predictors of EET included baseline EET and living with spouse/children. Negative predictors included higher PANSS suspiciousness, hostility and delusions scores. Positive predictors for symptom remission included living with spouse/children, and affective symptoms on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Negative predictors of remission included passive social withdrawal symptoms on PANSS. A key limitation of this study is the small sample size (n) relative to the number of predictors (p), whereby p approaches n. The use of elastic net regularised regression rather than ordinary least squares regression helped circumvent this difficulty. Further, we did not have information for biological and additional social variables, such as nicotine dependence, which observational studies have linked to outcomes in psychosis. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Using advanced statistical machine learning techniques, we provide the first externally validated evidence, in a temporally and geographically independent cohort, for the ability to predict one-year EET status and symptom remission in individual FEP patients.
