Dealing with Insomnia
Are you struggling to sleep at night because you’re Dealing with Insomnia?
At Kentlands Psychotherapy, we offer CBT, the behavioral therapy interventions discussed in this video, evidence-based medication consultation and management, and a highly effective biomedical intervention for dealing with insomnia called Alpha-Stim.
Treating insomnia with medication involves prescribing medications such as sedative-hypnotics, which aim to induce sleep. Commonly prescribed drugs include benzodiazepines, non-benzodiazepine hypnotics, and melatonin receptor agonists. These medications can help regulate sleep patterns by enhancing sleep initiation and maintenance. However, it’s essential to use them under medical supervision, as they may carry risks of dependence or side effects. Physicians typically prescribe these medications for short-term use, focusing on addressing the underlying causes of insomnia through lifestyle changes and behavioral therapies in the long term. SPecifically, our Psychiatrists and PMHNPs will consult with you about your needs, concerns, other medical conditions, and medications. Using this information allows them to determine what medications can safely assist you in improving your sleep.
