Key Points

  • This research examines how emotion dysregulation and dissociation influence depressive symptoms in individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD).
  • Explored associations between emotion processing, dissociation, and depressive symptoms in AUD and non-AUD individuals.
  • Analyzed data from participants diagnosed with alcohol use disorder.
  • Dissociation significantly mediates the relationship between alexithymia and depressive symptoms.
  • Individuals with higher levels of alexithymia show increased depressive symptoms through greater dissociation.

Abstract

Associations between emotion processing characteristics, dissociation, and depressive symptom severity differ in individuals with and without AUD. These results suggest that dissociation might be a promising target for therapeutic interventions among individuals with AUD.
