Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Objectives Traumatic experiences constitute a risk factor for developing different psychopathologies, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex PTSD (CPTSD), and positive symptoms of psychosis. However, on the symptom level, it is still unclear how CPTSD and positive symptoms of psychosis associate with each other. The present study aimed to shed light on these dynamics by investigating the symptoms network of CPTSD and positive symptoms of psychosis. Methods A network analysis was performed on CPTSD and psychosis symptoms among a Canadian community sample with a history of traumatic life events ( n = 747). Measures included the international trauma questionnaire and the mPRIME screen. Results In total, 4.8% of the sample reached the criteria of probable PTSD and 7% fulfilled the criteria of probable CPTSD. PTSD and CPTSD groups had a significantly higher severity of positive symptoms of psychosis compared to the no-disorder group. Network analysis revealed 3 distinct communities of symptoms of PTSD, disturbances in self-organization, and psychosis. Affective dysregulation served as the bridging symptom between the communities. Hearing one's own thoughts aloud was the most central symptom in the network. Conclusions Findings show that positive symptoms of psychosis can be considered trauma-related responses. Furthermore, interventions targeting affective dysregulation as well as the experience and distress associated with hearing one's own thoughts aloud may contribute to symptom reduction and improved functioning.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
