"Low self-esteem (often a major focus of interest in psychotherapies)..." (c) Melanie J. V. Fennell, "Cognitive Therapy in the Treatment of Low Self-Esteem" "Given that feelings of worthlessness are part of the diagnostic criteria for depression (as well as a number of other clinical conditions)..." (c) John E. Roberts, "Self-Esteem from a Clinical Perspective" "Comorbidity is the rule with anxiety and depressive disorders. Anxiety and major depressive disorder are often comorbid with each other; these disorders are commonly associated with other psychiatric disorders; and they are frequently found coexisting with long-standing chronic medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus" (c) Yemi Aina, Jeffrey L. Susman, "Understanding Comorbidity With Depression and Anxiety Disorders" "Christine Padesky (personal communication, April, 1986) has suggested that the unavailability of healthy self-perceptions might be a definitive characteristic of people with personality disorders, and others (Young, 1987; Guidano & Liotti, 1983) have made similar suggestions". (c) Jacqueline B. Persons, "Cognitive Therapy in Practice: A case formulation approach" "The results of the present study demonstrate that all psychiatric patients suffer some degree of lowered self-esteem". (c) Peter H. Silverstone and Mahnaz Salsali, "Low self-esteem and psychiatric patients: Part I – The relationship between low self-esteem and psychiatric diagnosis" "The available longitudinal studies suggest that self-esteem might have significant positive effects on important life outcomes (e.g., Orth et al., 2012; Trzesniewski et al., 2006; but see Boden, Fergusson, & Horwood, 2008)" (c) Julia Friederike Sowislo and Ulrich Orth, "Does Low Self-Esteem Predict Depression and Anxiety?
