Synopsis
Mental illness is frequently accompanied by sleep problems; conversely, people experiencing sleep problems may subsequently develop mental illness. Sleep and Mental Illness looks at this close correlation and considers the implications of research findings that have emerged in the last few years. Additionally, it surveys the essential concepts and practical tools required to deal with sleep and co-morbid psychiatric problems.
The volume is divided into three main sections: basic science, neuroendocrinology, and clinical science. Included are over 30 chapters on topics such ass neuropharmacology, insomnia, depression, dementia, autism, and schizophrenia. There is also a summary table of drugs for treating sleep disorders.
This interdisciplinary volume will be of interest to clinicians from psychiatry, behavioral sleep medicine, and neurology, and researchers interested in the field of sleep and biological rhythms.
