Self-esteem was also consistently retrieved most central node (the dimension within each network). Between-group tests did not reveal any differences regarding network structure, overall connectivity, edge-weights, nodes' centrality. Despite presenting different symptom profiles, various disorders may demonstrate similar inter-relationships dimensions. particular, self-esteem crucial inter-connecting role patients' life.
