Core Tip	This study, leveraging data from the Psychology and Behavior Investigation of Chinese Residents and employing network analysis, reveals the intricate relationships between depression and anxiety symptoms and multidimensional influencing factors among Chinese individuals with noncommunicable chronic diseases. Media exposure, family health, problematic internet use, suboptimal health status, and intimate relationship violence were identified as key central and bridge factors. These findings suggest that interventions targeting these factors, particularly guiding the correct use of media information and fostering harmonious family dynamics, may be crucial for improving the mental health of this population.
