Article Synopsis
- Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sleep disorder causing discomfort in the legs and an urge to move them, particularly at night, which may be linked to higher rates of depression.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of 24 studies found that approximately 30.39% of RLS patients experience depression, with only 3.41% reported using antidepressants.
- The study concluded that while a significant number of RLS patients have depressive symptoms, more research using standardized methods is needed to better understand the relationship between RLS severity and depression.
