Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) are frequently comorbid. One explanation for this comorbidity is that PTSD has a constellation of "dysphoria" symptoms resembling depression.
Using confirmatory factor analysis we tested the role of DSM-5 PTSD׳s dysphoria factor in relation to MDD symptom dimensions of somatic and non-somatic psychopathology. 672 Ohio National Guard soldiers completed DSM-5 measures of PTSD and MDD symptoms in an epidemiological study.
Results indicated that in contrast to other PTSD factors, PTSD׳s dysphoria factor was more related to MDD׳s somatic and non-somatic factors.
Limitations include generalizability to the epidemiological population of trauma-exposed military veterans rather than civilians, and reliance on self-report measures.
Implications concerning clinical psychopathology and comorbidity of PTSD are discussed, including whether PTSD should be refined by removing its non-specific symptoms.
创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)和重度抑郁障碍(MDD)经常共病。这种共病的一个解释是 PTSD 有一系列类似于抑郁的“心境恶劣”症状。
我们使用验证性因子分析来测试 DSM-5 PTSD 的心境恶劣因子与 MDD 症状的躯体和非躯体精神病理学维度之间的关系。672 名俄亥俄州国民警卫队士兵在一项流行病学研究中完成了 DSM-5 PTSD 和 MDD 症状的测量。
结果表明,与其他 PTSD 因素相比,PTSD 的心境恶劣因子与 MDD 的躯体和非躯体因素更为相关。
局限性包括对创伤后暴露的退伍军人的流行病学人群的普遍性,而不是对平民的普遍性,以及对自我报告测量的依赖。
讨论了与 PTSD 的临床精神病理学和共病相关的问题,包括是否应该通过去除其非特异性症状来改进 PTSD。
