Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder that causes a lot of sleep disturbances. The article that I read talked about a link between this disorder and depression. This article showed with facts the occurrence and how prevalent this disorder is in the society.

                The Center of Disease control and Prevention did research on sleep apnea, and came to the conclusion that men who are confirmed to have sleep apnea have a higher chance of being clinically depressed than men who do not have this disorder. According to a professor at The Texas A&M Health Science center in Temple, “This problem is underdiagnosed”, there needs to be more effective treatment and a better way of diagnosing this disorder.

                I chose this article because it showed the work that is currently being done to getting information out about this disorder and also making it more likely that the patients would ask for a more intensive screening for this disease.
