Traumatic memories are directly associated with depression and generalized anxiety symptoms, independent of posttraumatic stress symptoms
Overview
This cross-sectional study examines whether traumatic memories are directly associated with depression and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) symptoms, independent of posttraumatic stress symptoms. Using data from samples in Ukraine and the United Kingdom, the authors found that traumatic memories remained significantly correlated with depression and GAD even after controlling for PTSD and disturbances in self-organization. The resource discusses theoretical and clinical implications of these findings for understanding the role of memory in various trauma-related disorders.
