The impact of different adverse childhood experiences on the dimensions of emotional dysregulation in adults with major depression by Paula Dagnino, Cecilia Cordeu, Eduardo Franco-Chalco, Sergio Gloger, Martín Duisallant, Joaquín Mizon, Loreto Romero

“…In univariate models, emotional abuse predicted higher overall dysregulation and increased emotional dyscontrol, everyday interference, and emotional inattention, whereas greater physical abuse was associated with reduced everyday interference.DiscussionEmotional abuse appears to be the principal driver of both global and facet-specific emotion-regulation difficulties in adults with MDD, suggesting that interventions emphasizing impulse control, emotion awareness, and reduction of functional interference may be particularly beneficial for this subgroup.LimitationsThe cross-sectional, selfreport design precludes causal inferences and may be subject to recall bias; future work should employ longitudinal, multimethod approaches to elucidate mechanisms and resilience factors.…”
