If you or a loved one are spending all day lying in bed, there may be a variety of reasons–you or your loved one may be feeling a lack of motivation or interest, general apathy and defeat, experiencing insomnia, or noticing a disrupted circadian rhythm–all of which are symptoms of depression. Depression and sleep have a complicated and entangled relationship. Sleep disturbances are common symptoms of depression, and depression can lead to insomnia or upon occasion, hyposomnia. Poor sleep can also have a direct impact on mood disorders, thoughts of suicide, and other symptoms of depression.
However, treatment of depression, particularly from the use of antidepressants, have also led to sleep disturbances, as well. Sleep disorders and depression are more correlated than one directly causing the other. If you or your loved one notice that you’re spending all day in bed or can’t stay awake after taking new antidepressants, it’s crucial that you connect with your healthcare provider to review your sleep cycles and sleep patterns.
In order to overcome the fatigue that usually goes hand in hand with Major Depressive Disorder, it’s important to incorporate physical activity into your daily life, as well as to get better sleep on a regular schedule. Managing stress with daily activities like meditation, yoga and breathwork can also help increase dopamine, counteracting fatigue for lasting wellness. It’s recommended to seek medical advice for oversleeping to incorporate new tools for better sleep habits. There are also several alternative pharmacological strategies to treat fatigue in depression.1 If you are looking for treatment for depression, depression fatigue, or other related medical conditions, reach out to AMFM Mental Health Today.
The average adult should be getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night, while adolescents and young adults require 8 to 10 hours.2
It’s estimated that about 75% of depressed patients have insomnia symptoms, and hypersomnia is present in about 40% of young depressed adults and 10% of older patients, with a preponderance in females.3 Other epidemiological studies have pointed out that insomnia in nondepressed subjects is a risk factor for later development of depression. 4
Essentially, while depression may not cause insomnia, or insomnia may not cause depression, the two are entangled. Insomnia does not precede depression in all cases, and nor do findings of recent studies prove causal relationships between insomnia and depression. Further evidence suggests that both depression and depression treatment can induce sleep disturbances.5
In order to combat oversleeping or lying in bed all day, medical professionals recommend incorporating physical exercise, communication with friends and loved ones, and self-care to recenter and ground yourself, or to break out of depressive episodes. If you are struggling with depression, you may be experiencing any of the following sleep problems:
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) or Clinical Depression is a mood disorder that is known for causing feelings of sadness, a loss of interest in pleasurable activities, and a range of other emotional and physical symptoms. Symptoms of depression can affect your daily routine, relationships, and overall quality of life. Mental health treatment, through a combination of psychiatry and therapeutic care, can help you to manage these symptoms over time, increasing the quality of life.
Major Depression can affect individuals of varying ages and other demographics. Causes of depression can vary, including genetics, self-esteem, experiences you’ve had in life, and a chemical imbalance within your brain. Depression therapy can help you in overcoming depression and may include the use of depression medications and holistic therapies.

Depression can present differently among those experiencing depressive symptoms. There are several types of depressive disorders, each of which have their own features and recommended treatments. While this is not an exhaustive list of the types of depression, it does highlight some of the most common:
There are a variety of different antidepressant medications that have been proven as effective treatment (in combination with psychological treatment) for depression. Some types of antidepressants are listed here, but inquire with a licensed medical professional or psychiatrist for detailed information on different treatments. Never take psychiatric medication unless it is prescribed to you, and be sure to consult with medical professionals in case of external risk factors.
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SSNIs)are antidepressant medications that treat different neurotransmitters in order to block the reabsorption of serotonin or norepinephrine, keeping more of the chemicals in the synaptic cleft. Both are effective treatments for depression, but depend upon the individual, and should be approached with medical guidance and professional advice.

Residential mental health facilities are designed to offer mental health resources, structure, and treatment plans to those struggling with a variety of mental health conditions in a live-in environment. Because these are inpatient behavioral health programs, they offer a more holistic and hands-on, in-person treatment approach with 24/7 access to health care and personalized treatment plans. Our Residential Facilities have qualified clinicians on staff, to provide medication management, therapeutic programming, and the highest level of care, This type of treatment prioritizes an individual’s safety when depressed, particularly for those who have experienced suicide attempts.
Intensive Outpatient Mental Health Treatment is a form of treatment designed to treat depression through a combination of group and individual therapy. Qualified mental health professionals lead clients through behavioral health programming, providing comprehensive treatment plans, evidence-based programs, and psychoeducation resources. IOP programs provide a holistic approach to treatment and thorough access to health care, but at a more flexible schedule. AMFM Mental Health Treatment offers outpatient programs with both in-person and virtual treatment options to meet your unique needs.
PHP is a type of mental health program designed to help those struggling with mental health issues through a combination of group and individual therapy, to improve well-being. Qualified mental health professionals lead clients through behavioral health programming, providing personalized treatment plans, evidence-based programs, and psychoeducation resources. PHP programs provide comprehensive holistic treatment and thorough access to health care, but at a more flexible schedule. Unlike inpatient residential treatment, the partial hospitalization program option only takes place during the day, allowing clients to return home at night and on the weekends, with less disruption to your daily life. This level of care may be helpful for those continuing studies or work in the evenings or on the weekends. AMFM Mental Health Treatment Facilities offer PHP, with both in-person and virtual treatment options to meet your unique needs.

Depression can affect individuals differently, which often requires individualized treatment. There are a variety of depression treatment options that can be used to address the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral aspects of this condition. Some of the most common psychotherapy modalities used in depression counseling sessions at our California locations include:
Couples and family therapy may be used when a loved one’s depressive symptoms are affecting others. Support groups for family members can increase everyone’s understanding of depression and provide resources for growth. Couples and family therapy sessions can improve communication patterns, focus on problem-solving, address unresolved conflicts, and increase the sense of understanding among one another.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is most commonly referred to as “talk therapy,” and is designed to help process emotions. Qualified professionals offer psychological therapy to move forward with healthy ways of engaging in interpersonal relationships and alleviating physical and emotional distress.
