Could insomnia treat depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not exactly: Insomnia doesn't exactly "treat" depression, but some studies have found that sleep deprivation may temporarily help depression. It returns as soon as sleep pattern normalizes though. http://tinyurl.com/plqvok9 more often, sleep disturbance actually makes depression worse, and resolving this makes relief of depression more likely. http://tinyurl.com/m59y5n3.
