Correlation between hypersomnia and anhedonia in patients with major depressive disorder / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the correlation between hypersomnia and anhedonia in patients with major depressive disorder.Methods:From November 2018 to May 2019, patients hospitalized with major depressive disorder who met the ICD-10 diagnostic criteria were selected.According to the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), 46 patients were divided into daytime sleepiness group with ESS ≥ 7, and 171 patients were divided into non-sleepiness group with ESS < 7.The Chinese Revised Social Anhedonia Scale (RSAS) and the Chinese Revised Physical Anhedonia Scale (RPAS) were used to evaluate the patients' anhedonia symptoms.Two-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation analysis were used for data processing.Results:(1)There was no interaction between the hypersomnia and gender on the score of physical anhedonia ( F=0.274, P=0.601). The main effect analysis showed that there was significant difference in the influence of gender on physical anhedonia ( F=10.948, P<0.05). (2)There was interaction between the hypersomnia and age on the score of physical anhedonia ( F=4.396, P=0.013). Further simple effect analysis showed that the score of physical anhedonia in 40-49 age(21.54±12.37) was lower than that in 50-64 age(34.13±12.53) in daytime sleepiness group( P<0.05). (3) There was interaction between hypersomnia and sitting and lying on the score of social anhedonia ( F=4.247, P=0.041). Further simple effect analysis showed that the score of social anhedonia in patients with sitting and lying time less than 2 hours (13.71±5.18) was lower than that in patients with sitting and lying time more than 2 hours (19.75±6.39) in daytime sleepiness group( P<0.05). (4)Pearson correlation analysis showed that the total sleepiness score of depression patients was positively correlated with the social anhedonia score ( r=0.206, P<0.01). After adjusting for gender, age and sitting and lying time, the total sleepiness score was still positively correlated with the social anhedonia score( r=0.225, P<0.01). Conclusion:Hypersomnia may be associated with anhedonia in patients with major depressive disorder.
