摘要: The sleep of 28 fully recovered, drug-free, prepubertal patients with major depressive disorder was recorded for three consecutive nights in the laboratory. Recovered depressives had significantly shorter first rapid eye movement period (REMP) latencies and a higher number REMPs compared themselves when depressed nondepressed neurotic normal children. In addition, most continuity measures improved considerably on recovery. We suggest that short REMP latency may be marker past episode or trait depressives.
