Article Synopsis
- The study looks at how insomnia (trouble sleeping) is connected to other mental health problems like anxiety and eating disorders in college students.
- Researchers used a smart computer method to analyze information from over 31,000 college students from 26 U.S. universities to see which mental disorders were linked with insomnia.
- Results showed that having any mental disorder was tied to worse insomnia, with the findings helping to understand how these issues might affect each other.
Background: A better understanding of the structure of relations among insomnia and anxiety, mood, eating, and alcohol-use disorders is needed, given its prevalence among young adults. Supervised machine learning provides the ability to evaluate the discriminative accuracy of psychiatric disorders associated with insomnia. Combined with Bayesian network analysis, the directionality between symptoms and their associations may be illuminated.
