Associations between internet addiction and suicidal ideation in depressed adolescents: the mediating effect of insomnia as well as sex differences
Depressed adolescents have higher suicide risk, and SI is significantly associated with IA and insomnia, especially in girls. Moreover, insomnia may mediate the association between IA and SI. However, given the small sample size of this study and the limitations of assessment tools used, the results need to be viewed with caution. Regardless, clinical interventions should be strengthened for IA and insomnia in adolescents with MDD to reduce suicide risk.
