Disturbed sleep is a leading symptom and likely causal factor for the development of psychiatric diseases such as mood disorders.

Are interoception and mental health linked? Many assume so, with interoception even described as a psychiatric “p-factor.” But in our latest preprint, we were surprised to find little evidence for such a connection. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 Thread with our reflections on the matter 👇
Interoceptive Ability is Unrelated to Mental Health Symptoms: Evidence From a Large Scale Multi-Domain Psychophysical Investigation

TMS also stimulates the trigeminal nerve which can result in clinical benefit independent of its direct cortical stimulation. TENS sham procedures help control for these effects, however such studies should be adequately powered since some level of response to just TENS sham are expected.
