Purpose of treatment for sleep disorders

Cognitive-behavioral therapy can help in treating sleep disorders such as insomnia, narcolepsy, sleep apnea, or other associated disorders. The purpose of therapy for sleep disorders is to change routines associated with sleep, establish healthy bedtime, resolve worrisome thoughts, ease stress, and learn relaxation techniques. Stimulus control, sleep hygiene education, dark therapy, and phototherapy are other methods that may be applied to analyze sleeping patterns, reset circadian rhythms, and gain deeper insight into life changes that may be a source of stress.

Sleep habits can vary from person to person. What promotes healthy sleep for one person may not work for someone else. Therapy is very important as insufficient sleep over a few days or weeks leads to diminished function, irritability, anxiety and fatigue.

Types of sleep disorders we treat

Insomnia

Insomnia is a sleeping disorder characterized by poor quality or lack of sleep that leads to diminished ability in performing daytime activities. Insomnia can be temporary or persistent and treatment may be treated with medical and non-medical therapies.

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

A rapid eye movement (REM) sleep disorder is when you vocally and physically act out dreams that are vivid and often unpleasant. Treatment is determined after diagnostic testing and may include medications, guidance in lifestyle changes, and behavioral therapy.

Sleep Apnea

With sleep apnea, you will experience breathing interruptions while asleep. Snoring, mood swings, and morning headaches are common symptoms. Changes in lifestyle are used as part of treatment along with medication and additional therapies.

Narcolepsy

A neurological condition called narcolepsy makes you overly sleepy during the day or you unintentionally fall asleep even while driving or working. The symptoms of narcolepsy can be controlled with medications that may include stimulants and antidepressants.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was highly satisfied with my evaluation visit with Dr. Mian Siddique. I felt a trusting and friendly rapport that made me comfortable expressing myself openly and asking honest questions. As someone who has often been hesitant about psychiatry and medication, I appreciated his insights and suggested homework into how treatment could support my stability for both my personal and professional life.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Escribo este comentario para presentar una queja sobre el centro. Desde que implementaron el traductor de inteligencia artificial, me resulta muy difícil pedir y cambiar citas, porque cuando usan esta traducción, hay que esperar a que termine, lo cual confunde. La verdad es que todo iba bien; me gustaba mucho el centro. Fui a pedir ayuda para mi hijo y para mí, y fueron muy profesionales, sobre todo cuando me comuniqué con la persona que me atendió, Liz, y con la otra chica que también habla español. Me sentía muy cómoda porque se tomaban el tiempo para explicarme todo, para decirme qué era lo mejor para mí, los médicos. Pero ahora no, es inteligencia artificial, e incluso cuando traduce, hay que repetirlo dos o tres veces, y no es porque no entienda el idioma, porque todos hablamos el mismo idioma. Sobre todo cuando hablo, tengo que darle palabras que entienda; no son dialectos, no son idiomas que usemos  para que la inteligencia artificial se confunda. Me gustaría que volviera a la normalidad, porque la verdad es que he recomendado este centro a mucha gente. Me gustan mucho los médicos, especialmente Liz, que es muy comunicativa compasiva y hace muy bien su trabajo no tenía problema con mis citas pero desde que me pusieron  la AI no puedo con esto Ella y la otra chica que también habla español siempre se comunicaron bien con nosotros, no hubo ningún problema, pero desde hace dos semanas empezó todo esto: incluso mis citas se confunden y cuando llamo, hay confusión. Y la verdad es que no estoy contenta con esta traducción automática. Me gustaría porque si estoy pidiendo ayuda mental para mi hijo y para mi es porque quiero un lugar donde yo no me de mas ansiedad espero y los encargados tomen encuentra este comentario porque si para las sesiones van a ser lo mismo en vez de yo comunicarme con el terapista me denla terapia la inteligencia artificial
