مطالعه در مورد جمعیت عمومی در مورد غم و اندوه برای جدا شدن پیوستار از رفاه به اختلالات افسردگی

Sadness validates the depressive continuum hypothesis, since it is more frequent in the general population than MDD itself and at the same time shares with MDD the same sociodemographic and clinical correlates. A gradual association from controls to MDD was observed for psychiatric comorbidities. Finally, the high sensitivity of sadness may suggest its use to screen at-risk individuals converting from well-being to full psychiatric disorders.
