Pharmacologic Insomnia Treatment for Mental Health

In this episode of Talking Sleep, Dr. Chris Bojrab discusses the intersection of insomnia treatment and mental health, emphasizing the role of pharmacologic approaches. While CBT-I is the gold standard for insomnia, its accessibility is often limited by cost and the availability of trained professionals. For patients with comorbid mental health disorders, effective insomnia treatment can significantly enhance both sleep and mental health, but sleep restriction therapy might not always be suitable.

As a psychiatrist with expertise in neurotransmitters, Dr. Bojrab shares his insights on using pharmacologic treatments for insomnia, particularly in patients with complex mental health conditions.
