Management of Sleep Disorders in Psychiatry provides the most
comprehensive and evidence-based review of the clinical management
of DSM-V based sleep-wake disorders in patients with psychiatric
disorders. This book is organized into three sections that focus on
the basics of sleep medicine, clinical features and treatment of
DSM-V sleep-wake disorders, and evidence-based management of sleep
disorders commonly associated with a range of DSM-V based
psychiatric disorders. The first section orients the reader to
topics such as sleep physiology, neural mechanisms of wakefulness
and sleep, circadian rhythms, effects of sleep on cognition,
history taking in sleep medicine, and clinical application of
technical procedures used in the field of sleep medicine. The
second section adopts a unique perspective of using DSM-V
classification of sleep-wake disorders to integrate the management
of sleep disorders with mainstream clinical psychiatry. This
section features a comprehensive chapter on pediatric sleep-wake
disorders, a topic of interest to fellows and practicing clinicians
specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry. The third section
offers the most comprehensive review of comorbidity, shared
pathophysiology, and clinical management of sleep disorders within
the context of a wide range of DSM-V based psychiatric disorders.
This section also highlights important topics such as delirium,
neurocognitive disorders, effects of psychotropic medications on
sleep, neurological disorders, pain disorders, forensic sleep
medicine, and eating disorders. This clinically-oriented resource
provides case vignettes and clinical pearls to illustrate the
diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders in the setting of a
variety of psychiatric presentations. Additionally, each chapter
includes a self-assessment section with multiple-choice questions
that helps the reader solidify their clinical skills and prepare
for the board and certification examinations for topics pertinent
to sleep-wake disorders in psychiatry.
This book provides a thorough, multidisciplinary review of the
latest research and clinical approaches in the field of sleep
disorders. It illustrates the variance of complications, symptoms,
and issues sleep disorders cause during different stages of a
woman's life. This updated, comprehensive edition begins with an
overview of sleep disorders in women, followed by a section
dedicated to examining sleep disorders in women during adolescence.
Subsequent chapters then focus on treating pregnant women with
sleep disorders, which include conditions such as restless legs
syndrome, that arise during the gestational period as well as those
like narcolepsy, whose management offers unique challenges during
pregnancy and lactation. The book concludes with information on the
specific issues caused by sleep disorders faced by women during and
after menopause. Sleep Disorders in Women, 3rd Edition serves as an
important addition to the literature and is an invaluable resource
for neurologists, sleep medicine specialists, OB/GYNs, internal
medicine physicians, family practitioners, psychiatrists, nurse
practitioners, and physician assistants.

mental health? Can we teach ourselves to have lucid dreams? The

our dreams to understand ourselves better. Exploring extraordinary

paralysis nightmares, alongside cutting-edge questions like whether
it will ever be possible for androids to dream, The Psychology of
Dreaming reveals some of the most fascinating aspects of our
dreaming world.
