The prevalence of clinical depression according to ICD-10 criteria in a selected clinical sample (referred to the sleep center) was 21.5 %. Mood scales tend to overestimate complaints as compared to psychiatric consultation. Interdisciplinary cooperation is recommended for both OSA patients with symptoms of depression and depressed patients with treatment resistance.
