Background
Duration of Sleep has a heavy impact not only on the quality of vigilant states, anxious and thymic rhythms but also on biological states such as immune responses.
Short or Long Sleep duration may be identified by disorders like insomnia or hypersomnia. However, Sleepiness is the best symptom to express the struggle between beeing Asleep or Awake.
Objective
This Symposium has for objective to be a place where psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health specialists, psychopharmacologists may meet to discuss what they could bring in terms of diagnosis, treatment and support.
Focus
This Symposium will focus on Insomnia, Hypersomnia and Hypersomnolence and will look at their relationship with Depression. Are they predictors? Are they only a part of the depression? Do they define clinical forms of Depression? Are they modifying the answer to the antidepressant treatment? Are they an indication for specific antidepressant molecules?
All these questions need longitudinal studies which will be appropriate to define prevalence, incidence and natural evolution of Depression
