Longitudinal network analysis of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder comorbidities among adolescents in regional China
The correlation in symptoms of the three disorders underscores the need for more comprehensive treatment options for intervention after traumatic events. Central and bridge nodes could inform targeted interventions or policy decisions. Anxiety disorders, especially Som and Gen dimensions, should be the focus of intervention. The Arousal dimension in PTSD, especially sleep disorders, may contribute to the comorbidities. In addition, this study highlights the importance of staged post-traumatic interventions.
