The study of network data analysis in comorbidity studies

The foundation of network data analysis in psychology rests on particular theory, special ontological assumptions and particular methodology. Therefore it is possible to call network analysis as an independent paradigm with given techniques for data gathering and data analysis. This method can be used for studying psychological constructs with network entities (e.g. comorbidity phenomenon). Applying network data analysis in studying relationships of generalized anxiety disorder and major depression disorder symptoms (according to The US National Comorbidity Survey Replication (NCS-R)) shows that it is not possible to distinguish between them and we should consider symptoms relationships in studying, diagnosis and therapy for both of them.
