Increased Coupling of Intrinsic Networks in Remitted Depressed Youth Predicts Rumination and Cognitive Control

"The authors have chosen to investigate a common symptom in most individuals who experience depression as well as those who suffer from many other psychiatric conditions. Moreover, the capacity to choose what one wishes to think about without the mood-changing interruptions of invasive rumination and obsession may be less common than previously considered in many individuals with or without a psychiatric diagnosis.
Anecdotally, my experience with N-Acetyl Cysteine in psychiatric patients (as well as personal-development clients with rumination and obsession who carry no official psychiatric diagnosis) suggests a potentially significant beneficial effect. It would appear that the authors have established an evaluation paradigm with which this finding might be tested.
