A network analysis of alexithymia, empathy, and suicidal ideation in Chinese adolescents with major depressive disorders
By revealing DIF and PD as central therapeutic targets, this study demonstrates how network analysis can uncover intervention opportunities missed by traditional approaches. Clinically, targeting these nodes through emotion recognition training and distress tolerance interventions may disrupt the pathway to suicidality in adolescents with MDD.
