Repeated measures ANOVA revealed significant interaction between time on children's HAMD-17, IES-R, RRS scores (all p < .05). Linear mixed models that increasing IES-R score associated increase levels (estimate value = 0.104, .019), SES decrease -0.298, .021).Conclusions: Incorporating add-on therapy reduce degree impact patients, as well symptoms rumination thinking.
