It might not cure depression, but it helps a lot with nighttime anxiety. I used to wake up all the time with panic attacks and OCD thoughts. That stopped after I started using my CPAP.
I'm assuming that I would wake up, heart pounding, and then my brain would search for a reason and find one.
I'm heavy now, but I wasn't when the nightime anxiety started. Plus my sleep study showed central apnea as well as obstructive apnea. So I'm guessing I had it when I was thinner.
