The Hierarchical Taxonomy Of Psychopathology is an effort of psychiatric nosologists to improve the organization, description, and measurement of mental health
The Dimensional Turn in Psychopathology: Q&A with Robert F. Krueger
“Everything we try as a field ends up illustrating how murky and complex the origins of psychopathology tend to be.”

Just uploaded a new video that provides a brief introduction and overview of HiTOP! Tash did awesome work on this one too.
Hope it can be useful for some of you - please do share it widely with anyone who you think might be able to use it: youtu.be/196rqdAv4_w
Launched a new @HiTOP_system YouTube channel to host some videos my RA Tash Turner-Cohen and I are working on.
We've just posted the first one, which gives a brief overview of some of the limitations of the DSM: youtu.be/4Kwu_1oMD9U
Viewpoint discusses how traditional psychiatric nosologies may be limiting the success of prediction models to achieve precision medicine, and provides recommendations for machine learning to address these limitations. ja.ma/4eiVCFF

What happens when we break down DSM diagnoses into their individual symptoms and rebuild our classification system from the ground up? Do we see familiar DSM constructs, HiTOP dimensions, or something else entirely?

How do your favorite disorders fare in a data-driven reorganization of the DSM-5?
Find out in this new preprint where we followed the patterns in 14,762 individuals’ symptoms with the goal of overcoming limitations in both the DSM and @HiTOP_systemx.com/PsyArXiv_bot_v2/status…
ALT A representation of how symptoms of some exemplar constructs in the DSM-5 map onto the hierarchical structure we found. On the left are examples of disorders with symptoms that mostly hung together in the data-driven structure (i.e., ‘notably homogenous disorders’) and on the right are examples of disorders with symptoms that scattered throughout the data-driven structure (i.e., ‘notably heterogeneous disorders’).
The old live tweet for those with #SRP2024 FOMO:
@lensimms gave us the lowdown on the development (actually re-development, yay for revision and transparency!) of the @HiTOP_system harmful substance use (HSU) scales. This included interesting HSU considerations like…
🚨INVITATION TO COLLABORATE: We are in need of data from the HiTOP-Self Report measure within a general population for a project exploring psychopathology within cancer survivors versus a general population. If you have HiTOP-Self Report data from within a general population that you are willing to share, and if you are interested in collaborating, please reach out!

🚨 New preprint! 🚨
We used a preregistered, exploratory, & symptom-based approach to explore the structure (i.e., measurement and co-occurrence) of common mental health symptoms in pregnancy and postpartum. 1/7

We used very big samples and very broad assessment to map a symptom-level model of the structure of psychopathology in youth!

I’ll write a detailed thread when it’s been peer reviewed, but in the meantime here’s a nice HiTOPish figure that brings together prior studies in youth that used exploratory or item-level analyses and/or included content coverage that went beyond internalizing and externalizing:
ALT A figure depicting a hierarchical model of the dimensions that have been found to organise psychopathology in youth (e.g. internalizing, externalizing, thought disorder). Some of the constructs are outlined by—or linked with—dashed lines, which denotes evidence from a single study.
