一些研究人员认为情感麻木是创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的主要特征。其他人认为麻木症状代表了PTSD，抑郁和解离之间的重叠。在这项研究中，我们检查了早期情感麻木，抑郁和分离症状预测PTSD的能力。对161名最近遭受性侵犯或非性侵犯的妇女进行了为期12周的前瞻性评估。情感麻木、抑郁和分离都与最初的PTSD严重程度相关。值得注意的是，回归分析显示，在考虑了抑郁和分离之后，早期麻木有助于预测后期的PTSD。
Some researchers consider emotional numbing a cardinal feature of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Others view numbing symptoms as representing an over-lap between PTSD, depression, and dissociation. In this study, we examined the ability of early emotional numbing, depression, and dissociation symptoms to predict PTSD. One-hundred sixty-one women who were recent victims of sexual or nonsexual assault were assessed prospectively for 12 weeks. Emotional numbing, depression, and dissociation were each associated with initial PTSD severity. Notably, regression analyses revealed that after depression and dissociation were accounted for, early numbing contributed to the prediction of later PTSD.
