DiscussionIn this study, we explored changes in sleep pattern during the COVID-19 pandemic in a genetically informative cohort of 6453 adults with a self-reported lifetime history of depression. This unique natural experiment unveiled significant shifts in sleep patterns. Despite increased flexibility to adjust their sleep schedules due to ‘lockdown’ regulations, the proportion of individuals with optimal sleep decreased, leading to transitions towards both short and long sleep patterns.

The core experiences of depression – changes in energy, activity, thinking and mood – have been described for more than 10,000 years. The word “depression” has been used for about 350 years. Given this long history, it may surprise you that experts don’t agree about what depression is, how to define it or what causes it. But many experts do agree that depression is not one thing. It’s a large family of illnesses with different causes and mechanisms.

Imagine two people, one with a high genetic risk for depression, one with a low risk. They both lose their jobs. The genetically vulnerable person experiences the job loss as a threat to their self-worth and social status. There is a sense of shame and despair. They can’t bring themselves to look for another job for fear of losing it too. For the other, the job loss feels less about them and more about the company. These two people internalise the event differently and remember it differently.

AbstractThe dominant (‘general’) version of the diathesis-stress theory of depression views stressors and genetic vulnerability as independent risks. In the Australian Genetics of Depression Study (N = 14,146; 75% female), we tested whether polygenic scores (PGS) for major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, ADHD, and neuroticism were associated with reported exposure to 32 childhood, past-year, lifetime, and accumulated stressful life events (SLEs).
