Disorders Treated: Insomnia Sleep is one of the most basic but
also vital activities. Recent research has connected the quality
and duration of our sleep to hormone levels related to hunger,
eating behavior, obesity, and overall stress. Major Depression
and a number of other mental disorders include sleep disturbance
as a symptom, so proper diagnosis of any sleep issue is crucial
to attaining the effective treatment. Insomnia, which is
difficulty obtaining a good night's sleep, involves difficulty
falling asleep, staying asleep through the night, or early
wakenings. Symptoms can include, but are not limited to: -
depressive elements - concentration problems - GI problems -
apprehension about sleep - increased hunger, overeating
Fortunately, insomnia is very responsive to cognitive behavioral
interventions. Typical treatment can occur in a short time if
clients are capable of following behavioral recommendations.
