Major Depression & Biorhythms
Alterations in circadian rhythms of behavior, sleep, core temperature and the secretion of cortisol and other hormones Blunted amplitude of daily rhythms and poor responsiveness to environmental entraining stimuli. Circadian desynchronization may also be triggered by disorganization of the suprachiasmatic nucleus Circadian disturbances may be provoked by an abnormal pineal output of melatonin, a key synchronizer of biological rhythms and sleep Depression is associated with an altered diurnal rhythm of melatonin output, including a blunted night time surge Administration of melatonin itself is ineffective in major depression Re-coordination of biological rhythms by recruitment of melatonergic mechanisms may be a therapeutically relevant strategy for improving depressed states.
