Abstract
This study aimed to develop quantitative measures of brain circuit dysfunction to stratify patients with depression and anxiety. Using fMRI data from 801 treatment-free patients and 250 patients after treatment randomization, personalized scores of brain circuit dysfunction were derived. Participants were categorized into six biotypes based on intrinsic functional connectivity and task-evoked activation and connectivity. These biotypes showed distinct symptom profiles, behavioral test performance, and treatment responses, providing a new, theory-driven, clinically validated method to address the heterogeneity of depression and anxiety.
