Description
Wan and co-authors test whether poor sleep carries the effect of childhood trauma into depression in teens with bipolar disorder. Trauma in childhood worsens bipolar disorder in adolescence, above all by deepening depressive symptoms. The steps between early trauma and later depression, though, were still unclear to clinicians.
Sleep disturbance is a strong candidate for the middle step. The study enrolled 426 adolescents with bipolar disorder and measured trauma history, sleep quality, and depression severity. Statistical mediation tests checked if sleep problems explained the trauma link. A confirmed path would make sleep care a clear target for these teens.
