Description
Xiangmin Liu and eight colleagues follow in 2026 how insomnia, stigma, social support, and depression move together over time in people being treated for tuberculosis. Depression is common in tuberculosis care and worsens adherence, yet most earlier evidence froze these factors at one moment. The team assessed 266 patients at three Chinese hospitals four times across six months of treatment.
Statistical models that separate personal change from stable differences showed a two-way street between sleep and mood. Worse insomnia predicted later depressive symptoms at every step, and depression predicted later insomnia at most steps. Stigma tracked alongside depression throughout, while stronger social support came with a faster decline in symptoms. The authors recommend sleep-focused help and stigma reduction as part of tuberculosis depression care.
