Ok, can anyone provide any proof that anxiety, depression and OSA are linked? I know, it's like saying we know the earth is round, but we have to be able to prove it.

My doc just told me that he is open to the idea that normalizing my breathing during sleep might be adequate to treat the depression and anxiety, but he doubts very much the psychiatrist I will be seeing in the next few weeks be of this opinion.
