Article Synopsis
- Borsboom and colleagues propose a "network theory" of psychiatric disorders, viewing them as stable networks of interacting symptoms, and suggest including environmental factors in this framework.
- The article critically examines how the inclusion of non-symptom variables can enrich explanations of psychiatric disorders, analyzing existing claims about the relations among symptoms and their links to environmental factors.
- It suggests that a multilayer network model can better integrate symptoms and environmental influences, allowing for both causal/mechanistic and topological explanations of these complex disorders.

We consider these difficulties to be a reflection of a still fragmented field of research that can be overcome with improved organization and communication.
