🌀 Depression Pattern Model (DPM)
The Depression Pattern Model (DPM) is a non-clinical mapping framework developed by Alien Algorithms Ltd® that decodes depressive states by examining rhythmic and cyclical patterns rather than symptoms in isolation.
DPM treats depressive episodes as energy-wave systems — patterns that rise, fall, repeat, and alternate based on internal survival logic.
This model allows individuals to trace cycles and understand when, why, and how depressive states emerge.
🧬 Core Concept
DPM focuses on rhythm:
Depression follows cycles, not randomness.
These cycles form predictable patterns:
slow declines
sudden collapses
flatlines
delayed emotional rebounds
periodic shutdowns
wave-like recovery
By mapping these waves, DPM reveals the structure behind emotional downturns.
🔍 What DPM Maps
Energy shifts across days or weeks
Behavioral withdrawal phases
Cognitive fog cycles
Emotional flattening vs emotional surge points
Collapse states
Rebound periods (“the emotional echo”)
The goal is understanding — not diagnosis.
🔄 Relationship to AMM & PRM
DPM is one pillar of the Self-Mapping Suite, alongside:
🔗 Anxiety Mapping Model (AMM)
https://github.com/AlienAlgorithmsLtd/Anxiety-Mapping-Model-AMM
🔗 PTSD Response Map (PRM)
https://github.com/AlienAlgorithmsLtd/PTSD-Response-Map-PRM-
Together, these three models map:
Anxiety patterns (AMM: frequency)
Trauma cycles (PRM: stage architecture)
Depressive rhythms (DPM: wave patterns)
This interconnected system helps users understand the hidden logic of their internal states.
👥 Who DPM Is For
People experiencing recurring depressive cycles
Anyone wanting clarity without reliving painful material
Support workers needing pattern-based tools
Researchers studying emotional rhythm mapping
DPM transforms depressive experiences into something observable and understandable.
