TL;DR: Alvaro et al. as discussed by the authors investigated whether sleep disturbances are bidirectionally related to anxiety and depression, and thus identify potential risk factors for each problem, and found that childhood sleep problems significantly predicted higher levels of depression and a combined depression/anxiety variable, but not vice versa.

TL;DR: One-third of new neurology out-patients are assessed as having symptoms 'unexplained by organic disease', and a new diagnosis rarely became apparent to the patient's primary care doctor in the 18 months following the initial hospital consultation.

TL;DR: There was a decline in measures of depression, stress and anxiety; with these improvements continuing into the postnatal period; and increases in mindfulness and self-compassion scores were also observed over time.

TL;DR: After confounder variables were controlled, insomnia predicted depression and panic disorder (PD), whereas insomnia was predicted by depression and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

TL;DR: A substantial proportion of new outpatients with diagnoses of neurological disease also have symptoms regarded by the assessing neurologist as being unexplained by that disease; no single neurological disease category was more likely to be associated with this phenomenon.
