Abstract

We emphasize the potential importance of the role of early alterations in sleep and circadian rhythms as a biological marker of early-onset depression in the preschool period. This builds on findings of the reciprocal relationship between sleep and mood as well as the validity of preschool depression well established in the extant literature. This editorial highlights two recent studies published in JCPP in 2024 defining the duration of clinically impairing depressive symptoms in young children and methods that are now feasible to track daily patterns of sleep and circadian rhythms and show their relation to mood. We propose future studies to investigate these relationships in young children at risk for depression.

社论：幼儿期睡眠与情绪之间的互为因果关系--抑郁症风险的神经标志物尚未得到充分探索。

我们强调，睡眠和昼夜节律的早期改变作为学龄前早期抑郁症的生物学标志，具有潜在的重要性。这基于睡眠与情绪之间相互关系的研究结果，以及现有文献中已确立的学龄前抑郁症的有效性。这篇社论重点介绍了最近发表在《JCPP》（2024 年）上的两项研究，这两项研究界定了幼儿临床抑郁症状受损的持续时间，并介绍了目前追踪每日睡眠模式和昼夜节律并显示其与情绪关系的可行方法。我们建议今后对有抑郁风险的幼儿进行这些关系的研究。

JCPP has a broad global readership and covers a diverse range of topics, including: Epidemiology: Studies on the prevalence and distribution of mental health issues in children and adolescents. Diagnosis: Research on the identification and classification of childhood disorders. Treatments: Psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacological interventions for child and adolescent mental health. Behavior and Cognition: Studies on the behavioral and cognitive aspects of childhood disorders. Neuroscience and Neurobiology: Research on the neural and biological underpinnings of child mental health. Genetics: Genetic factors contributing to the development of childhood disorders. JCPP serves as a platform for integrating empirical research, clinical studies, and high-quality reviews from diverse perspectives, theoretical viewpoints, and disciplines. This interdisciplinary approach is a key feature of the journal, as it fosters a comprehensive understanding of child and adolescent mental health.
