English abstract:
      Systems theory emphasizes the multidimensional interactions among elements within a system and their dynamic changes over time, to provide a crucial theoretical framework and analytical tools for investigating the onset and evolution of mental disorders. From a complex systems perspective, this review examines the influence of multi-factor interaction networks on the development of depressive and anxiety disorders, and reviews research progress on early-warning signals based on dynamical systems theory for symptom prediction. This study specifically examines two system-oriented psychological interventions: acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based intervention for emotional distress (MIED). Building upon their respective psychopathological models, this review elucidates the multifactorial interaction of depressive and anxiety disorders at a transdiagnostic level, and further analyzes the mechanism through which core intervention strategies adjust the key factors to achieve clinical improvement.
