Multivariate regression was used in order to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that all dimensions of emotional and affective AFECT model, except for fear and euphoria were significantly associated with the symptoms of DD. The results of the regression analysis showed that sensitivity, volition, coping, depression, anxious, hyperthymia, cyclothymic, dysphoric, volatile and apathetic could be predicted significantly symptoms of DD.
