FromĀ Live Science: A new study published inĀ The Lancet Psychiatry found that participants who completed an online cognitive behavioral therapy program specifically for insomnia experienced reducedĀ anxiety and depression, as well as fewer hallucinations and experiences of paranoia, in addition to less insomnia.
“The findings suggest thatĀ sleep plays an important role in mental health and that doctors should consider it a priority to improve patients’ sleep, the authors wrote.
‘For too long, insomnia has been trivialized as merely a symptom’ of other mental health conditions, and has been thought of as a problem to be tackled, Freeman said. But ‘for many people, insomnia can be part of the complex package of causes ofĀ mental healthĀ difficulties,’ he said.”
