Patients were assessed before and after 2 months of CPAP use.Results: Of the 37 patients included in the study, 21 (56.7%) had clinically relevant depression as indicated by a score >10 on the HDRS and eleven patients (29.7%) met the diagnostic criteria for a major depressive episode using the Structured Clinical Interview. Scores on the HDRS were correlated with the Apnea Hypoxia Index, ESS scores, and oxygen saturation. Patients showed a significant reduction in depressive symptoms and improvement in ESS scores after CPAP treatment.Conclusion: Patients with OSA should be screened carefully for depressive disorders. CPAP should be tried first before starting other treatment modalities for depression.Keywords: obstructive sleep apnea, depression in OSA, CPAP and depressionEl-Sherbini AMBediwy ASEl-Mitwalli ADove Medical PressarticleNeurosciences.
