- The study aimed to explore the link between psychiatric symptoms, like depression and paranoid ideation, and sleep apnea severity in patients with breathing-related sleep disorders (BRSD) by analyzing sleep EEG data.
- Researchers conducted polysomnography on 169 BRSD patients and used the SCL-90-R scale to assess psychiatric symptoms, finding significant correlations between certain EEG findings and psychological issues.
- Conclusions suggest that higher levels of paranoid ideas and depression are associated with increased slow oscillation brain activity during sleep; however, more research is needed to fully understand this relationship.
