Network 1 showed a complex interaction nodes, with particularly strong connections analogous GPIU PSMU. Symptoms organised into dimensions, featuring unique dimension for one that includes preoccupation conflict symptom two other dimensions 2 significant depression, limitations, PSMU anxiety, anxiety. The findings support conceptualization as nonspecific disorder, independence constructs, aligning perspectives separate from spectrum. reinforces model compensatory emphasizes impact on well-being. have practical implications assessment intervention behaviours.
