CPAP machine effective treatment for sleep apnea

Reuters reported on 01/01/11 on a study done at San Diego State University which found that sleep apnea treated with a CPAP machine is effective. You can read more about the study by clicking here.

I have many patients who complain about symptoms of depression and they often have sleep disorders. With such an association, the clinician is left to speculate whether the sleep disorder is contributing to a depression or whether the depression is contributing to a sleep disorder. Many of patients report marked relief when they are diagnosted with sleep apnea and this gets treated with a CPAP machine. I, as a psychotherapist, find it validating to learn that the research supports my clinical observations.

    Medical studies have revealed that approximately 4% of all middle aged men and 2% of women have some form of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea has been defined as a series of breathing cessation episodes during sleep that are caused by blocked or collapsed pharyngeal tissues in the airways that results in its victims having significant interrupted sleep.
