To evaluate whether depressive symptom severity leads to poorer response and perceived adherence cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) examine the impact of CBTI on well-being, severity, suicidal ideation.Pre- posttreatment case replication series comparing low depression (LowDep) high (HiDep) groups (based a cutoff 14 Beck Depression Inventory [BDI]).127 men 174 women referred treatment insomnia.Seven sessions group CBTI.Improvement in energy, productivity, self-esteem, other...
Older adults have high rates of sleep disturbance, die by suicide at disproportionately higher compared with other age groups, and tend to visit their physician in the weeks preceding death. To our knowledge, date, no study has examined disturbed as an independent risk factor for late-life suicide.
Although a suicide attempt history is among the single best predictors of risk for eventual death by suicide, little known about extent to which reporting attempts may vary assessment type.The current study aimed investigate correspondence between information obtained via single-item self-report survey, multi-item and face-to-face clinical interview.Data were collected high-risk sample undergraduates (N = 100) who endorsed past on prescreening survey.Participants subsequently completed was...
Study Objectives:A growing body of research indicates that sleep disturbances may be specifically linked to suicidal behaviors. It remains unclear, however, whether this link is largely explained by depressive symptoms. The present study investigated the relationship between suicidality, depression, and complaints in a clinical outpatient setting.
Article AbstractObjective: Young adults attempt suicide at disproportionately high rates relative to other groups and demonstrate of sleep disturbance. No study has yet prospectively evaluated disturbed as an acute indicator risk using objective index sleep. We investigated subjective parameters a warning sign suicidal ideation among young over period.Methods: A longitudinal across 21-day observation period 3 time points. Fifty 4,847 participants (aged 18-23 years) were prescreened from...
To investigate emotion regulation difficulties in association with self-reported insomnia symptoms, nightmares, and depression symptoms a sample of current retired firefighters.A total 880 United States firefighters completed web-based survey firefighter behavioral health. Self-report measures included the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, Insomnia Severity Index, PTSD Checklist, Difficulties Emotion Regulation Scale.A notable portion participants reported clinically...
Previous research has demonstrated an association between suicidality and sleep, suggesting that sleep disturbances may exacerbate mood dysregulation in participants suffering from disorders. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact insomnia on depression a nontreatment seeking sample college students. Results indicated nightmares were significant predictors symptoms depression, while only significantly predicted suicidal ideation. Further analysis with elevated scores...
Annual suicide figures are critical in identifying trends and guiding research, yet challenges arising from significant lags reporting can delay complicate real-time interventions. In this paper, we utilized Google Trends search volumes for behavioral forecasting of national rates Ireland between 2004 2015. Official recorded by the Central Statistics Office Ireland. While similar investigations using data have been carried out other jurisdictions (e.g., United Kingdom, Stated America), such...
Article AbstractObjective: Self-reported sleep disturbances may confer elevated risk for suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and death. However, limited research has evaluated polysomnographically determined disturbance as an acute physiologic factor thoughts. This study sought to investigate the relationship between nocturnal wakefulness in association with next-day ideation using overnight polysomnography assessment from data collected 2006 2013.Methods: Sixty-five participants...
Insomnia and disrupted sleep are associated with increased risk of suicide. The N-methyl-d-aspartate antagonist ketamine has been reduced suicidal thoughts, but the mechanism action is unknown. This study sought to evaluate differences in nocturnal wakefulness depressed individuals who did not have an antisuicidal response ketamine.
American Indians (AI) demonstrate the highest rates of both suicidal behaviors (SB) and alcohol use disorders (AUD) among all ethnic groups in US. Rates suicide AUD vary substantially between tribal across different geographical regions, underscoring a need to delineate more specific risk resilience factors. Using data from over 740 AI living within eight contiguous reservations, we assessed genetic factors for SB by investigating: (1) possible overlap with AUD, (2) impacts rare...
In a previous report, we were unable to entrain one out of seven totally blind people with free-running endogenous melatonin rhythms 10 mg exogenous melatonin. This person had the longest circadian period (24.9 h) group. We now find that this can be entrained 0.5 melatonin, but not 20 mg. These results are consistent idea too much may spill over onto wrong zone phase–response curve.
Anxiety is commonly associated with insomnia. Given that social anxiety disorder one of the most prevalent disorders, socially anxious individuals may be particularly vulnerable to However, there currently very little empirical work on this relationship. This study used bivariate correlations examine whether was related insomnia in an undergraduate sample (n=176) using Social Interaction Scale and Insomnia Severity Index. Further, we utilized responses from Beck Depression Inventory...
The present study prospectively investigated the association between family life stress and insomnia symptoms among 115 undergraduates, ages 17-22 years. Participants completed following questionnaires at 2 time points, spaced 3 weeks apart: Insomnia Severity Index, Negative Life Events Questionnaire (NLEQ), Beck Depression Inventory. First, baseline was hypothesized to predict elevated later, above beyond depressive symptoms. Second, compared with academic stressors, negative social events...
