Abstract
Objective: This article aims to explore the complex relationship between sleep disorders and psychiatric disorders, highlighting diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to effectively manage this comorbidity. Understanding this interaction is crucial for providing integrated and personalized care to patients, improving their quality of life and mental health. Introduction: Sleep disorders and psychiatric disorders often coexist, mutually influencing each other and presenting unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment. This review examines the interrelations between these conditions, providing a comprehensive overview of available diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to manage this complex comorbidity. Methodology: A review of the medical literature was conducted using databases such as PubMed, PsycINFO, and Scopus, focusing on studies that investigated the relationship between sleep disorders and psychiatric disorders, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for this comorbidity. Studies providing insights into the pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, and treatment strategies for this complex interaction were included. Results: The results highlight the significant prevalence of comorbidities between sleep disorders and psychiatric disorders, suggesting a bidirectional interaction between these conditions. Diagnostic approaches, such as screening questionnaires, detailed clinical interviews, and objective sleep assessments, are essential for identifying and differentiating symptoms associated with each condition. Regarding therapeutic approaches, both non-pharmacological interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia and sleep hygiene, and pharmacological treatments, such as antidepressants and hypnotics, have been effective in managing these comorbidities. Conclusion: The relationship between sleep disorders and psychiatric disorders is complex and multifaceted, requiring an integrated approach in diagnosis and treatment. Accurate diagnostic strategies are essential for differentiating symptoms of each condition and guiding the treatment plan. Additionally, comprehensive therapeutic approaches, including both non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions, can help improve the quality of life and overall well-being of patients affected by this challenging comorbidity.
