About this Course
How to effectively assess and manage a patient with insomnia, including the management of chronic insomnia disorder.
Insomnia can occur as an acute, recurrent or chronic problem. Chronic insomnia often occurs with comorbid medical or psychiatric illness (e.g. depression). Cognitive behavioural therapies are often successful in treating insomnia and comorbid conditions also need to be addressed. In some situations, both non-pharmacological and pharmacological strategies are required to manage insomnia.
