Abstract
Among 146 youths with anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorders, mania symptoms were predictive of lower circadian amplitude and rhythmicity.
- Mania symptoms may independently affect the sleep-wake cycle, regardless of medication use.
- Antipsychotic medications are associated with longer sleep periods and duration.
- Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors may lead to longer sleep periods.
- Agomelatine is linked to earlier sleep onset.
- Different subclasses of psychotropic medications could have distinct impacts on sleep patterns.
