The impact of clinical comorbidities and residual depressive symptoms in sleep quality in euthymic/interepisodic bipolar subjects
Bipolar Disorder (BD) is a common psychiatric condition that leads to functional disability, poor quality of life, increased suicide risk and reduced life expectancy (Costa et al., 2015; Gitlin and Miklowitz, 2017; Kessing et al, 2015; Xiao et al., 2016). Since classic Kraepelin´s description of manic-depressive insanity to current psychiatric diagnosis criteria, sleep disturbances are typically described during major mood episodes in BD (Kraepelin, 1921; APA, 2013). A recent study showed that reduced sleep need and insomnia are the most frequent disturbances when in mania and both insomnia and hypersomnia are the most frequent disturbances when in depression (Kanady et al., 2015).
