Abstract
Rumination is a pathological habitual thinking pattern commonly observed in various mental disorders. It is closely associated with the severity of symptoms, treatment outcomes, and social functioning outcomes in conditions such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. In recent years, rumination has become a focal point in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. However, research on rumination still faces challenges, including conceptual ambiguity, lack of consistent assessment tools, unclear pathological mechanisms, and a shortage of effective intervention methods. This paper conducts a comprehensive review by examining relevant domestic and international literature to enhance our understanding of rumination across different mental disorders. The review encompasses the concepts, assessments, pathological mechanisms, and intervention methods of rumination, aiming to provide insights and references for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of rumination.
Key words:
Mental disorders; Rumination; Clinical phenotype; Quantitative tools; Assessments; Pathological mechanisms; Intervention measures
