Excellent - summarised with direct link(s) to evidence
If adding the second or subsequent link to a page, create a direct link like this: View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions.
Key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations
Strive to use the best available peer-reviewed academic sources as the citations (rather than websites or encyclopedia etc.). Supplementary embedded links to Wikipedia and/or Wikiversity pages are fine/great.
Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research throughout
Some use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters. Strive to add more embedded links to specific book chapter about affect and affective disorders. In this way, the current chapter can become a gateway entry point to those other, more specific chapters.
Perhaps also consider subclinical affective problems
Consider including more examples/case studies
Conclusion (the most important section):
well developed
what might the take-home, practical messages be?
in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.
Overall, this is an excellent chapter on a challengingly broad topic, that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.
Overall, the quality of written expression is very good.
Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
The chapter could be improved by developing some of the bullet-points into full paragraph format (e.g., psychosocial factors).
Layout
The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
The structure is very promising. I think a next draft should combine the types and signs/symptoms sections and, in the process, reduce their combined word count. This would allow room to expand the review of research about treatment effectiveness.
Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used as an ironic comment, as slang, or as an invented or coined expression; use quotation marks only for the first occurrence of the word or phrase, not for subsequent occurrences" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159).
Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10).
Direct quotes need page numbers - even better, write in your own words.
Replace double spaces with single spaces.
Figures
Figures are very well captioned.
Figure captions use the correct format.
Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
Check and correct formatting (e.g., (Fagiolini, et al., 2013) -> (Fagiolini et al., 2013))
References are not in full APA style. For example:
Overall, the use of learning features is very good.
Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. # No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.
The chapter title but not the sub-title is used in the name of the presentation - the latter would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding.
A link to the book chapter is not provided.
A link from the book chapter is provided.
The presentation is incorrectly categorised as being for kids.

I suggest getting rid of the dot points where you had written what you still need to add to your book chapter but did not complete, it will also make it look neater. Proof reading the chapter would have helped just in case you had forgotten to get rid of them :)
