Evidence shows potential as an add-on tool in clinical practice. However, it unclear which measure(s) could be clinically relevant. Here, first step, we investigate measures best differentiate current status track depressive severity most closely. The total sample ( N = 956) from three (naturalistic) psychiatric cohorts with matched controls was divided into depression, remitted non-disordered control group. Self-referent task were calculated the drift diffusion model (DDM) applied to assess underlying components cognitive decision making process. Measures compared between groups linear regression models their association severity. number endorsed words differentiated while combination positive words, bias, rate strongly associated Our results give direction implementation this task. Its value assessing, monitoring, predicting state trait settings requires further investigation.

Furthermore, few offer multicomponent interventions, despite such having demonstrated efficacy outside context. In response these openings literature marketplace, we developed ReNeuWell, an iPhone app designed measure user’s (via validated Composure, Own-worth, Mastery, Positivity, Achievement Satisfaction for Well-being (COMPAS-W) scale) improve via personalised, program activities informed by peer-reviewed evidence base.
