Sleep apnea treatment for people with serious mental illness
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether treating sleep apnea can help people with serious mental illness (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder) and also compares them to healthy people. It aims to improve sleep and possibly mental health symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be between 40 and 70 years old.
