The following predictors would be important variables for the early diagnosis of depression: comorbid psychopathology, symptom-related disability, treatment credibility, access to therapists, time spent using certain internet-intervention modules; pain-fatigue (symptom intensity scale), comorbidity; 30 microbial markers (gut microbiota); psychological elasticity, income level; upper body movements-postures; brain connectivity within posterior cingulate cortex, within insula, between posterior cingulate cortex and insula/hippocampus-amygdala, between insula and precuneus, between superior parietal lobule and medial prefrontal cortex; single-nucleotide polymorphisms (rs12248560, rs878567, rs17710780); cingulate isthmus asymmetry, pallidal asymmetry, ratio of the paracentral to precentral cortical thickness, ratio of lateral occipital to pericalcarine cortical thickness; self-assessed cardiac-related fear, sex, number of words to answer the first homework assignment for internet-delivered psychotherapy.
