Anzeichen und Symptome der Internalisierung und Externalisierung von Störungen und Möglichkeiten für klinische Übersetzungen

paper is really interesting because it shows that instead of looking at mental disorders as separate things, we can group them into two big types Internalizing (like depression and anxiety which are more inward) and Externalizing (like aggression, impulsivity, or substance abuse which are more outward).

It’s interesting how they connect this to animal studies.

Tests like the forced swim for depression or the decision-making tasks for impulsivity can help us figure out the brain mechanisms behind these behaviors.

This internalizing-externalizing framework seems like a more practical way to study mental health than just focusing on traditional categories.
