Figures in parentheses are percentages. Compl. reports, percentage of completed reports; NA, negative affect; Time invariant, the time series did not demonstrate a structural change of time (fluctuations over time may have been present); other, model could not be fitted or interpreted; ADM, assigned to the antidepressant medication continuation arm of the trial; PCT + ADM, assigned to the antidepressant medication continuation in combination with preventive cognitive therapy arm of the trial; PCT – ADM, assigned to the arm of the trial that combines preventive cognitive therapy with tapering of antidepressant medication; at the start, relapse during the first 4 weeks of the ESM study period; soon after, relapse at the end of or within 3 weeks after the ESM study period.

a

One individual (patient 14) displayed both decreased negative affect and negative affective inertia.

b

One individual (patient 26) experienced increased negative affect and decreased negative affective inertia.

c

One individual (patient 39) demonstrated decreased negative affect while the analyses could not be interpreted in terms of invariant or changing inertia. Because of particular patients (superscripts a + b + c), not all rows add up to 100%. Details on analyses per individual can be found in the supplemental materials.
