human biology - Are (baseline) high blood levels of melatonin associated with either circadian rhythm or mood disorders?

(Exogenous) melatonin is administered at night for treatment of circadian rhythm disorders, but melatonin taken during the day is linked with depression.



I would like to know if high blood levels of (endogenous) melatonin (at a steady state, throughout the day) might be linked with mood or sleep disorders (or have any effect at all), or if the body's response to melatonin adjusts accordingly.



I think the answer to this SE question is related, but I can't find the source using a reverse image search.
