Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent sleep disorder that is associated with a range of adverse daytime sequelae, including significantly higher rates of clinical depression than is seen in the general community. Improvements in depressive symptoms occur after treatment of the primary sleep disorder, suggesting that comorbid depression might be an intrinsic feature of OSA. However, there are limited data on whether treatment for OSA in patients diagnosed with clinical depression improves mood symptoms meaningfully enough to lead to the remission of the psychiatric diagnosis.

持续的气道正压通气治疗可以改善阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的临床抑郁吗？一项随机的等待名单对照研究

阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）是一种高度流行的睡眠障碍，与一系列不良的白天后遗症相关，包括比普通社区明显更高的临床抑郁症发生率。治疗原发性睡眠障碍后，抑郁症状会有所改善，这表明合并抑郁症可能是OSA的固有特征。但是，关于在诊断为临床抑郁症的患者中进行OSA治疗是否能够显着改善情绪症状以减轻精神病学诊断的数据有限。
