Researchers in this area aim to develop standardized measures for assessing symptom severity, identify factors that contribute to the severity of symptoms, and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions in managing and reducing symptom severity. This research is crucial for improving clinical care, informing treatment decisions, and enhancing quality of life for individuals living with chronic illnesses or mental health disorders.
