| Core Tip |
Among 1955 adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis, 765 participants showed significant depressive and anxiety symptoms. Network analysis identified "Excessive worry" and "Sad mood" as central symptoms across all sex and age subgroups, with "Sad mood" more prominent in younger individuals. Females exhibited tighter connectivity, particularly for "Irritability" and "Uncontrollable worry". Notably, differences in "Sleep disturbances" and "Suicidal ideation" were observed in the lower age group. Targeting these central symptoms through early interventions is crucial to mitigate the risk of depression and anxiety in this population. |
