Development of an Insomnia Treatment for Depressed Adolescents
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Insomnia, Depression
In brief
Major depressive disorder (MDD) occurs at least 11% of adolescents and approximately 53-90% of those adolescents have insomnia. If left untreated, insomnia increases the risk of relapse and recurrence of depressive episodes, unintentional injuries, poor school performance, substance use, obesity, and the risk for suicide. This project seeks to develop a nonpharmacological treatment for insomnia in adolescents with depression that is feasible and effective. The specific methodologies that will help accomplish these results are: 1) use of focus groups of adolescents with depression and insomnia to determine how the current standard, nonpharmacological treatment for insomnia (cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia; CBTI) among adults can be modified for use by adolescents with depression and 2) determine the preliminary effectiveness, feasibility, and tolerability of group CBTI in adolescents with depression (CBTI-AD) developed using feedback from the focus groups. This project will help to improve the quality and scope of delivery of mental health services in Michigan by a) gaining a greater understanding of how sleep disturbance may perpetuate depression in adolescents and b) to provide mental health professionals with a nonpharmacological treatment option for insomnia in adolescents with depression.
