Chronic insomnia increases the risk of later developing schizophrenia.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
7 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that chronic insomnia increases the risk of later developing schizophrenia?

Unclear. Several sources indicate that chronic insomnia raises the risk of later psychiatric disorders generally, especially depression and anxiety, and one meta-analysis reports a modest association with psychosis based on a single study. None of the retrieved items establishes that chronic insomnia specifically increases the risk of developing schizophrenia.
