This was my first publication in the *World Journal of Psychiatry*, and I have been very satisfied with the overall publishing experience. The peer-review process was constructive and effective, helping me improve the quality, rigor, and clarity of my manuscript. I am particularly grateful to the editorial team, including S-Editor Hu XY, L-Editor A, and P-Editors Lei YY, Xiang Li, and Wang Cai-Hong, for their professionalism, meticulous work, timely communication, and assistance in keeping me informed of the manuscript's progress throughout the publication process. One area that could be improved is the overall publication timeline, which was 142 days. Reducing the publication cycle to within 120 days, where feasible, could further enhance the timeliness of publication and accelerate the dissemination of research findings. Finally, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the editors, reviewers, and production team for their time, care, and support throughout the entire process. I look forward to submitting my future research to the *World Journal of Psychiatry* and would be pleased to consider it as a priority journal for my forthcoming work.
