This book introduces a new theory on the substantial comorbidity
that exists between many illnesses and disorders and concurrent
symptoms such as pain, impaired sleep and fatigue. The specific
illnesses and disorders discussed include obesity, diabetes
mellitus type-II, medical illnesses including cardiovascular
disease and sleep-disordered breathing, insomnia, disordered eating
such as binge-eating disorder and night-eating syndrome, affective
distress (anxiety and depression), and comorbidities that are
linked to eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia
nervosa. The book posits that the comorbidities are the result of a
complex bio-psycho-behavioral mechanism that includes circadian
rhythm dysfunction. It examines the statistical and methodological
(e.g. measurement) problems that can complicate the understanding
of comorbidity and explores a broad range of novel, existing, and
repurposed therapy approaches that could have utility in treating
comorbid disorders. This book will be of great value to academics
as well as practitioners working in the field of psychiatry, health
psychology and medicine more broadly.
