Insomnia, GAD, Depression, connection?

Question:

Can habitual insomnia lead to depression? How about any other mental prblems, or are most mainly derived from life experiences? I have been diagnosed with Generalized Social Anxiety Disorder about 4 years ago and am failry sure I have depression (after a lot of reading and research) and have had depression for about as long. The quality of my sleep lately has been especially bad so I started thinking how it might affect me. For as long as I can remember, I have had a lot of trouble sleeping; some nights, no more than an hour. Is there any link between these things?

Answers:
YES! And why do you call insomnia 'habitual'? You were diagnosed with GSAD 4 years ago? But have you been this way all your life, or did some traumatic thing happen 4 years ago. And why haven't you asked your doctor all this instead of all us morons who can only GUESS with the few things you give us? One thing for sure, is when you start thinking about how things are gonna affect you, it's like morbid introspection. You aren't gonna find much you like there.

Other Answers:
