These psychodynamic impairments appear to show a threshold pattern at high levels of symptom-related thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, suggesting that assessment of psychodynamic characteristics may help identify patients for more targeted interventions.</p><p><strong>Trial registry: </strong>[DRKS00011685].</p>","PeriodicalId":14963,"journal":{"name":"Journal of affective disorders","volume":" ","pages":"122375"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148764949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
