Abstract:
Introduction: This study investigated the relationship between sleep disorders and psychiatric disorders. Several studies have shown that there is a correlation between these two types of disorders, but it is important to better understand this relationship to help diagnose and treat patients with these disorders.
Method: We reviewed several studies conducted by leading universities on the relationship between sleep disorders and psychiatric disorders. We also examined the effects of certain medications on these disorders.
Results: The studies showed that there is a correlation between sleep apnea and anxiety and depressive disorders. In addition, sleep deprivation has been associated with an increased risk of developing mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, as well as psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. However, some medications, such as Quetiapine, have been effective in treating patients with psychotic disorders.
Discussion: The results of this study highlight the importance of considering sleep disorders in the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders. It is essential to monitor metabolic parameters when using antipsychotic medications such as quetiapine. Management of sleep disorders may also be an effective way to prevent or treat associated psychiatric disorders.
Conclusion: In sum, this study highlights the importance of considering sleep disorders in the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders, and underscores the effectiveness of treatments such as Quetiapine, Fluvoxamine and CPAP in managing these disorders. Considering the quality of sleep can thus contribute to significantly improve the quality of life of patients.
