According to research, more than 50% of patients seen in
psychiatric clinics have sleep problems. Despite this fact, there
is a lack of sleep medicine training in psychiatric residency
programs especially for disorders like insomnia and sleep-related
problems in women and children. Also, there is a lack of education
on treating sleep problems in special situations like ICU settings
or managing sleep problems via telemedicine. Sleep physicians, on
the other hand, are uncomfortable treating patients with the
psychiatric disorders, particularly in this demographic.
Pediatricians are also not trained to work with children suffering
from sleep disturbances or psychiatric disorders. They often
struggle to correctly identify a particular disorder and lack
confidence to adequately treat and manage these issues. In total,
there are only about 250 clinicians trained in both sleep medicine
and psychiatry, despite the millions of patients who could benefit
from both disciplines. While Springer does have a forthcoming text
on sleep and psychiatric disturbances that addresses comorbid sleep
disorders in the general population, there is still no resource
that examines the intricacies of insomnia in women and children.
This text highlights the importance of common medical comorbidities
and illuminates the salient points for treatment, diagnosis, and
management of these conditions as they relate particularly to these
special populations. Written by experts in both sleep medicine and
psychiatry, the text takes a cutting-edge, reader-friendly approach
to topics that include sleep disturbances in pregnancy, sleep
tele-medicine, sleep disturbances related to difficulties in
schools, and substance-induced disturbances. Each chapter follows a
consistent format, making it an excellent tool for the busy
clinician who is not able to sift through scientific literature or
didactic texts. Psychiatric Sleep Disorders in Women and Children
is an excellent resource for all clinicians who may work with
special populations struggling with sleep and psychiatric
comorbidities, including psychiatrists, sleep medicine physicians,
internists, primary care and family medicine physicians,
pediatricians, obstetrics/gynecologists, psychologists and others.
