A mediation model on how PTSD symptoms are related to psychotic experiences in survivors of the ongoing Gaza war 2023–2024
The relationship between PTSD and PEs in extremely traumatizing environments seem to be complex. Our results highlight the crucial need for screening and early detection of one condition when the other is present, specifically in war-torn populations. The full mediation effect found may indicate the importance of depression/anxiety symptoms in reducing PEs in war-affected individuals with PTSD, and in alleviating PTSD symptoms in those experiencing PEs as well.
