Australian researchers identify new 'circadian depression' subtype

Original: Australian researchers identify new subtype of depression linked to body clock disruptions By Donna Lu assistant editor,

Australian researchers have identified a new subtype of depression, dubbed 'circadian depression', linked to disruptions in the body's internal clock. A study of more than 11,000 participants found the subtype affected nearly a quarter of them, suggesting sleep and circadian rhythm disturbances may define a distinct form of depression that could benefit from targeted treatments.

Why now: The study's finding that a large share of depression cases may be tied to body clock disruption is a significant new development in mental health research.
