Circadian rhythm disruption is related to self-diagnosis of mental illness
It is not known if the circadian disruption-mental illness self-diagnosis and uncertainty relationship is directly casual, or mediated by negative behaviors associated with such disruption, including social media usage or sleep loss. Regardless, the findings have implications for shift workers, college students, and for other individuals who do not maintain a 'regular' sleep schedule.
