Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Insomnia is a highly prevalent malady and adversely affects many dimensions of daily human function. Although its pathophysiology is poorly understood, it seems to arise in the context of heightened arousal in neurophysiologic and psychological systems. Because it often coexists with a wide variety of medical and psychiatric conditions, the first task in the management of this condition is to identify comorbid disorders through a comprehensive evaluation. Once identified, specific treatments can be tailored to the underlying conditions. Effective cognitive/behavioral and pharmacologic management techniques are available for primary insomnia. |
