Chronobiology and chronobiological research deal with time-dependent physiological processes and behavioral correlates as well as their adaptation to environmental conditions. Chronobiological research is presently focused on the impact of circadian rhythms on human behavior. In the last three decades, chronobiology has established itself as an independent area of research evolving to an important field of clinical psychology and psychiatry. In this overview, the results of studies on the clinical importance of chronotypes are summarized. The main focus is on the role of chronotype in depressive disorders.
时间生物学和时间生物学研究涉及依赖时间的生理过程、行为关联以及它们对环境条件的适应。目前，时间生物学研究聚焦于昼夜节律对人类行为的影响。在过去三十年里，时间生物学已确立为一个独立的研究领域，并逐渐发展成为临床心理学和精神病学的一个重要领域。在本综述中，总结了关于昼夜节律类型临床重要性的研究结果。主要关注点是昼夜节律类型在抑郁症中的作用。
