Latent profile analysis of psychiatric symptoms and the Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities

The four profiles provide a clinically relevant framework for understanding self-reported psychosocial dysfunction, distinguishing patients on key outcomes such as suicidal ideation and work participation. This approach supports tailoring interventions, prioritizing treatment goals, and allocating resources based on shared patterns of characteristics. Future research should validate these profiles' temporal stability and predictive value for treatment outcomes while exploring the benefits of combining symptom and functioning assessments for clinical decision-making.
