Abstract

Key Points Question How does the transition between neutral and negative emotional states differ between trauma-exposed individuals with and without posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)? Findings In this cross-sectional study of 1440 trauma-exposed individuals, participants who met the criteria for PTSD exhibited a significantly faster transition rate between neutral and negative emotional states than controls. A higher transition rate was further associated with increased symptoms of emotional numbing. Meaning This study suggests that rapid shifts between neutral and negative emotional states in PTSD may bridge these seemingly contrasting symptoms, offering new insights for therapeutic strategies.
