PG - 3-8 LID - S0920-9964(21)00308-X [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.schres.2021.07.034 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Circadian rhythm disturbances are frequently implicated in psychosis. Indeed, research has suggested several avenues by which circadian rhythms may play a mechanistic role as well as contribute to clinical outcomes. Despite its potential role as a risk factor, little is known about circadian rhythm disruption among individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis, clinical correlates, or specificity to the psychosis risk syndrome. METHODS: Eighty-four CHR, 74 individuals with depressive disorders (DD), and 101 non-psychiatric controls (NPC) participated in structured clinical interviews and provided self-reports of chronotype preference. Clinical (positive, negative, anxious, and depressive symptoms) and social functioning outcomes were self-reported and/or clinician-rated. Analyses of covariance controlling for demographics examined group differences in chronotype preference, and partial Pearson correlations evaluated associations with clinical/functional outcomes. RESULTS: Group differences were observed (F(11, 246) = 8.05, p < .001) with CHR and DD individuals indicating greater eveningness preference compared to NPC. A follow-up sensitivity analysis examining CHR participants with (n = 25) and without (n = 59) depressive disorders indicated no difference in chronotype preference (F(10,72) = 0.00, p = .99). Greater eveningness preference was related to greater negative symptoms (i.e., avolition; r = -0.25) and anxiety (r = -0.34) among CHR individuals. CONCLUSIONS: CHR and DD display greater preference for eveningness chronotype compared to NPC indicating the disruption is associated with a range of mental health concerns, and not specific to the psychosis-risk syndrome. However, comorbidity with DD did not appear to be driving the finding in the CHR group. Further research may examine shared versus non-shared underlying mechanisms contributing to chronotype preference across psychiatric presentations. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V.
