Scientists from UCI reveal that disruptions in circadian rhythms may affect mental health disorders. They include anxiety, bulimia, Tourette syndrome, and more.
"Our analysis found that circadian rhythm disruption is a factor that broadly overlaps the entire spectrum of mental health disorders." Scientists also believe that age is also an important factor; CRD can affect the onset of aging-related mental disorders among the elderly.

Scientists from UCI hypothesize that Circadian Rhythm Disruption, or CRD, is a "psychopathology factor" shared by a broad range of mental illnesses, the release shared.
Research into CRD’s "molecular foundation" could be critical to unlocking better treatments for these mental disorders, the scientists also state.
