Mapping depression rating scale phenotypes onto research domain criteria (RDoC) to inform biological research in mood disorders

Integrating NIMH Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) into Depression Research.

The NIMH Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) initiative grew out of the agency's goal to develop "new ways of classifying mental disorders based on behavioral dimensions and neurobiological measures" (NIMH, 2008).
