Comparative study of sleep and circadian rhythms in patients presenting unipolar or bipolar major depressive episodes.

Currently, there is a major challenge in distinguishing between unipolar and bipolar major depressive episode. A significant body of research has been dedicated to identifying biomarkers that can aid in this differentiation due to its crucial implications, particularly for therapeutic and prognostic purposes. Among the biomarkers of interest, markers related to sleep and circadian rhythms show promise and could potentially aid in making this distinction.

Predictors of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) effects in insomnia with major depressive episode.
