摘要
Sleep disturbances are common in depressed patients. Insomnia may predate the onset of major depression, increases the likelihood of a depressive relapse, and is associated with an impaired response to treatment. Benzodiazepine drugs may have inherent antidepressant effects; thus, these and other sedative-hypnotic drugs can be beneficial for treating insomnia in depressed patients and may enhance the overall effectiveness of antidepressant drugs. Sedating antidepressant drugs are used for treating primary insomnia, but their sleep-promoting effects have been demonstrated primarily in depressed patients. Several second-generation antipsychotic drugs are used in low doses to promote sleep, but they also have inherent antidepressant effects. Cognitive-behavioral therapy targeting insomnia can effectively enhance the response to antidepressant medication. Sleep deprivation, which is also associated with a transient antidepressant effect, is difficult to use in routine clinical practice but might be an appropriate strategy for treatment-resistant forms of depression.
