Depression question

Posted by Scott in SD on August 08, 2002 at 14:35:23:
According to most posts about this, apnea does cause depression. My question: is this a biological thing in that something is changed (hormone, etc.) or is it because of lack of sleep just makes you cranky?
If biological, is there a test that can be performed to determine this?
