Obstructive Sleep Apnea Linked with Depression
- A study of 18,980 people found that people with depression were 5 times more likely to suffer from sleep-disordered breathing (SBO).
- Symptoms of depression overlap with symptoms of SOB, which gives a risk for misdiagnosis.
- Treating OSA may improve depression.
