Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is a debilitating condition stemming from disruption to the respiratory system during sleep. At present, the nature of the relationship between OSAS and mood, specifically depression and anxiety, is still unclear. The purpose of this paper is to shed some light on this relationship. PsycINFO was used to locate relevant papers on this topic. This literature search formed the basis of our investigation. Results showed that the anxiety and depression methodology is weak. It is now clear that there is an urgent need to better understand the roles of anxiety and depression in OSAS. For example, the research literature suggests that depression and anxiety covary with OSAS. However, because of methodological issues, such as difficulties involved in diagnosis and the use of inappropriate instruments, this conclusion remains tenuous. Future directions are discussed.
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征（OSAS）是一种因睡眠期间呼吸系统紊乱而导致的使人衰弱的病症。目前，OSAS与情绪，特别是抑郁和焦虑之间关系的本质仍不清楚。本文的目的是阐明这种关系。通过PsycINFO来查找关于该主题的相关论文。这次文献检索构成了我们调查的基础。结果显示，焦虑和抑郁的研究方法存在缺陷。现在很清楚，迫切需要更好地了解焦虑和抑郁在OSAS中的作用。例如，研究文献表明抑郁和焦虑与OSAS共同变化。然而，由于方法学问题，如诊断困难和使用不适当的工具，这一结论仍然不稳固。本文还讨论了未来的研究方向。
