| Core Tip |
Sleep disturbance and depression interact in a bidirectional and self-reinforcing manner rather than a simple cause-effect relationship. Accumulating evidence shows that insomnia, poor sleep quality, and circadian rhythm disruption not only result from depression but also actively contribute to its onset, persistence, and relapse through shared neurobiological, emotional, and behavioral mechanisms. Recognizing sleep disturbance as a core and modifiable component of depressive disorders supports routine sleep assessment and the integration of targeted sleep interventions, such as cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, into standard depression care to improve outcomes and reduce relapse risk. |
