Chronotype and Depressive Symptoms in Adolescence

  • Summary

  • DOI: 10.13056/acamh.30278

    In this Papers Podcast, Dimitris Tsomokos discusses his JCPP Advances paper ‘Chronotype and depression in adolescence: Results from a UK birth cohort study’ (https://doi.org/10.1002/jcv2.12245). Dimitris is the first author of the paper.

    There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.

    Discussion points include:

    • The bidirectional association between sleep duration and sleep quality and depressive symptoms in adolescence.
    • The reason behind using the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS), a large, population-based longitudinal birth cohort, in the study.
    • The cross-sectional association between chronotype and depressive symptoms and the differences between the sexes.
    • Can a ‘sleep catch-up mechanism’ mitigate risk for depression and are adolescence that are in tune with their circadian rhythms at less risk of depression?
    • The implications for policymakers and child and adolescent mental health professionals.
    • Gender differences and eveningness.
    In this series, we speak to authors of papers published in one of ACAMH’s three journals. These are The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP); The Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) journal; and JCPP Advances.
