Abstract
|
|
|
|
Psychological and pharmacological treatments for insomnia in adolescents have been associated with reduced insomnia symptoms and improved psychological wellbeing. Many studies have suggested or illustrated that adolescents and families strongly favor cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other psychotherapies over pharmacotherapy. This narrative review aimed to examine whether CBT for insomnia (CBT-I) can improve depressive symptoms in adolescents who experience both insomnia and depressive symptoms. Four studies have been found to meet the inclusion criteria in this review. There is evidence to show that CBT-I can reduce depressive symptoms in adolescents with insomnia. This finding suggest that CBT-I is not only beneficial to sleep quality but also improve mental health. However, there is still unknown whether CBT-I may treat depression in adolescents with both disorders or whether CBT-I may prevent depression in those adolescents with insomnia who are at-risk of depression.
