Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia in Patients with Medical and Psychiatric Comorbidities.

ABSTRACT

"Insomnia is highly comorbid with other mental health and medical conditions and adversely affects quality of life and daytime functioning. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is a safe and efficacious treatment for insomnia in the context of various comorbid conditions. In this article, the authors outline considerations for delivering CBT-I in patients with the most common co-occurring medical and mental health conditions, review the evidence for CBT-I in these populations as well as special considerations for its application, and highlight future areas for research in the area of CBT-I for comorbid medical and psychiatric conditions."
