Researchers identify 'circadian' subtype affecting one in four depression patients
Original: Researchers Identify New 'Circadian' Subtype of Depression Affecting 1 in 4 Patients https://www. sciencealert.com/resea
Researchers have identified a new subtype of depression linked to disruptions in the body's circadian rhythm, or internal clock. According to the findings, roughly one in four people with depression may fall into this 'circadian' category, meaning their symptoms are tied to sleep-wake cycle disturbances. The classification could pave the way for more targeted treatments, such as therapies that reset daily rhythms, rather than one-size-fits-all approaches.
Why now: The discovery suggests many depression patients may need rhythm-based treatments rather than standard approaches, sparking interest among clinicians and patients
