Little is known about the complex relationships between these mental disorders among culturally and linguistically diverse RAS. To investigate this, the present study applied a novel network analytical approach to examine and compare the central and bridge symptoms within and between PTSD, depression and anxiety among Afghan and Syrian RAS in T\u00fcrkiye.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2045796024000696_sec2b\">\n\t    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>A large-scale online survey study with 785 Afghan and 798 Syrian RAS in T\u00fcrkiye was conducted in 2021. Symptoms of PTSD (the short form of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders Checklist [PCL-5]), depression and anxiety (Hopkins Symptoms Checklist-25) [HSCL-25]) were measured via self-administrated validated instruments. We conducted network analysis to identify symptoms that are most strongly connected with other symptoms (central symptoms) and those that connect the symptoms of different disorders (bridge symptoms) in R Studio using the qgraph package.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2045796024000696_sec3c\">\n\t    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>Overall, Afghans and Syrians differed in terms of network structure, but not in network strength. Results showed that feeling blue, feeling restless and spells of terror or panic were the most central symptoms maintaining the overall symptom structure of common mental disorders among Afghan participants. For Syrian participants, worrying too much, feeling blue and feeling tense were identified as the central symptoms. For both samples, anger and irritability and feeling low in energy acted as a bridge connecting the symptoms of PTSD, depression and anxiety.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2045796024000696_sec4d\">\n\t    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>The current findings provide insights into the interconnectedness within and between the symptoms of common mental disorders and highlight the key symptoms that can be potential targets for psychological interventions for RAS. Addressing these symptoms may aid in tailoring existing evidence-based interventions and enhance their effectiveness. This contributes to reducing the overall mental health burden and improving well-being in this population.<\/jats:p>\n\t
