The present study was conducted with the aim of investigate the causal model of depression in women with multiple sclerosis (MS) based on behavioral brain systems with the mediator role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies. The present research method was the descriptive-correlation type of structural equation modeling. The statistical population of this research were all women with MS who visit MS Society in Tehran, in 2024; among them 306 peoples were selected as samples by purposive sampling method. Data collection tools included: Depression Inventory (Beck., 1996) (BDI), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski & Kraaij., 2006) (CERQ), and Brain/behavioral systems scale (Carver & White., 1994) (BIS/BAS). The data was analyzed by structural equation analysis method. The findings showed that the research model had a good fit. The estimating the direct effect of behavioral inhibition system and maladaptive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation on the depression, was positive and meaningful; and the direct effect of behavioral activation system and adaptive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation on depression was negative and significant (P<0.01). Also, the indirect impact of cognitive emotion regulation in the relationship between Brain/behavioral systems and depression was positive and significant (P<0.01). From the above findings, it can be concluded that the cognitive emotion regulation strategies play a mediating role in the relationship between Brain/behavioral systems and depression in women with MS.
