Adolescents with depression frequently experience poor sleep quality, insomnia, and delayed sleep phase syndrome, which intensify and prolong depressive symptoms. Since mood disorder and sleep disorder are bidirectional, early diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders in adolescent with depression are clinically critical.

The objective was to describe assessment methods, synthesize evidence on both non-pharmacological (e.g., CBT-I, mindfulness) and pharmacological (e.g., melatonin) interventions, and identify key research gaps for clinical practice and future trials. METHODS: The review followed Arksey and O’Malley’s framework and PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Searches of PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Scopus were conducted for studies published between January 2000 and January 2024. Twenty-six peer-reviewed studies meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed.

CBT-I was able to produce consistent ...
