Many patients with treatment resistant depression have coexisting symptoms of insomnia that may have preceeded their depression and could increase their risk of relapse. Those with insomnia also have a higher chance to develop depression in addition to suicidal ideation. In the paper by Suh et al. 2013, they reported in their 6 year follow-up study that those who demonstrated two or more episodes of insomnia in non-depressed patients saw an increase risk of both depression and suicidal ideation. However, there are reports that show the improvements in patients with primary insomnia when treated with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
