Abstract
In a cross-sectional, nationally representative sample of trauma-exposed veterans (N = 3,847), network analysis revealed that psychosocial functioning had differential connections with PTSD and depression symptoms, with the strongest connections for anhedonia, depressed mood, and restricted affect. It may be beneficial to target these symptoms among Veterans experiencing functioning difficulties.
