The Mediating Role of Rumination in the Relationship Between Childhood Trauma and the Severity of Major Depressive Disorder
The findings of this study suggest that childhood traumatic experiences may be associated with depression severity, and rumination appears to play a mediating role in this relationship. This highlights the need to address cognitive features and traumatic experiences in developing effective prevention and intervention strategies for depression.
