Affective spectrum symptoms and self-criticism: A behavioral genetic approach
Studies have shown that depression and so-called functional somatic symptoms (FSS; i.e., chronic pain and fatigue) are highly comorbid both at the symptom [1,2] and syndrome [3 –8] level. In addition, there is evidence for familial co-aggregation at both the symptom and syndrome levels [9–12]. These findings have led researchers to suggest that functional somatic disorders and depression are part of an affective spectrum of symptoms and disorders [10,13], although it i s not clear whether a common pathophysiology and similar causal pathways are implicated in disorders belonging to this spectrum [14–19].

These studies, however, have been limited to cross-sectional designs and primarily European American samples. Chinese culture encourages emotion suppression to preserve interpersonal harmony and therefore it may be important to test these emotion regulation processes with this population.
