This review examines the relationships between insomnia and inflammation in the pathophysiology of depression. The unique role of insomnia on depression risk is examined with interrogation of what aspects of sleep disturbance contribute to depressed mood. Furthermore, the influence of insomnia and its specific aspects (i.e., short sleep duration, disturbance of sleep maintenance) on affective mechanisms are considered, with a focus on reward activation and emotion processing. Given that inflammation contributes to some types of depression, the bidirectional interactions between sleep and inflammation are examined with consideration of how sleep deprivation induces activation of systemic, cellular, and genomic inflammatory outcomes and the causal role of inflammation in precipitating depressed mood and depressive symptoms. Key gaps in the literature linking insomnia and inflammation to depression risk are identified, and maps for future research are proposed. In particular, this review considers how the components of insomnia and inflammation conspire together to exaggerate deficits in reward activation and recognition of emotion, which underlie depression risk and adverse depression outcomes. Finally, informed by this two-hit model of insomnia and inflammation on depression risk, this review examines the efficacy of behavioral interventions that target insomnia and reverse related inflammation and discusses their potential to refine therapeutic approaches for depression treatment and prevention in individuals with insomnia.</p>","PeriodicalId":8918,"journal":{"name":"Biological Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143962977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alternatively, most studies that attempt to empirically compare these options test biology as a predictor of 1) syndromes and 2) symptoms in separate models that are unable to directly falsify the specificity of observed associations because these options are not directly competing for the same variance. In this review, we will 1) discuss the historical tension between symptom- and syndrome-focused psychiatry; 2) introduce hierarchical phenotyping as an approach to determining the specificity of biology-psychopathology associations; 3) highlight how hierarchical phenotyping approaches are complementary to leading nosological movements in psychopathology research; 4) illustrate how a hierarchical phenotyping lens can generate promising future directions for precision psychiatry using immunopsychiatric, genetic, and neurophysiological examples; 5) highlight clinical implications of hierarchical phenotyping approaches to psychiatry; 6) discuss methodological implications of hierarchical phenotyping for best practices in measuring and modeling psychopathology; and 7) introduce methodological resources for readers interested in investigating hierarchical phenotyping in their own work.
