New research suggests people with circadian depression — depression tied to disrupted body-clock rhythms — carry a higher genetic risk for ADHD and mood disorders. The study also links the condition to distinct metabolic and inflammatory markers, indicating circadian depression has an underlying biology rather than being ordinary depression combined with poor sleep.

Why now: New findings that circadian depression has a distinct biological basis are drawing attention from mental health communities.
