Sleep Dynamic Therapy

This study on changes in depression following CPAP use is very important, because it looks at the longer term impact of treating SDB. In some other recent studies, the time frame was too short to learn much about what PAP therapy does to depression. Remember, most depression builds in patients over many months time, if not longer. To reverse depression or at least reduce it, we would expect a sleep-oriented treatment to take several weeks or months to have a meaningful impact. That’s what these researchers found.
