Untreated central sleep apnea (CSA) could possibly have an association with several other disorders including ‘bi-polar-disorder’, ‘paranoia’, ‘stress’, ‘mood -swing-disorder’, and even ‘complete nervous breakdown’. In many cases, the use of anti-depressants has been observed as responsible along with the sedentary lifestyle full of drinking and smoking habitual patterns.
The possibility of such an association is although not well substantiated by enough research based data and evidences but many people who have been suffering with central sleep apnea (CSA) and other health problems have recorded various symptoms that indicate a strong possibility. In some of the cases the sleep-study outcomes have hinted in favor of such probable linkage with the central sleep apnea (CSA) and nervous breakdown.
Prolonged use of anti-depressants may also cause mania symptoms. A common person’s life is full of various stresses. If such health conditions are mixed with the central sleep apnea (CSA), there exists a strong reason to occur a full nervous breakdown.
Many a times it is not just the sleep apnea disorder with an individual. As a matter of fact, the central sleep apnea (CSA) may be entrapped in to more complexity including other disorders. This could be a ‘post-traumatic-stress-disorder’
or any other untreated mental-health-issue. In case of untreated and unattended central sleep apnea (CSA) cases some other mental issues are highly probable. The sleep apnea conditions may not be contributing the mental-issues as single responsible cause but its association can never be ruled out.
