Insomnia Diagnosis and Treatment is more complex than many people expect. Insomnia, one of the sleep-wake cycle disorders, is essentially a problem with sleep quality or quantity over a period of time: trouble falling or staying asleep. An insomnia diagnosis is based on an individual’s self-report of sleep disturbance but determining the best treatment often requires understanding the underlying cause of the problem. This is especially true when additional medical or psychiatric problems accompany the sleep issue.
In this video, I will discuss insomnia diagnosis and treatment, review the question “what is insomnia,” and give an overview of the diagnostic criteria, various causes, biological markers, and current treatments.

Welcome! I am Dr. Wendla Schwartz. I started PsychTalk to provide mental health information to folks (mostly patients and family members) who might otherwise have no access. In the process, I’ve discovered my videos are helpful to medical students, social workers, therapists, residents, (just about anyone interested in learning more about psychiatric signs and symptoms, psychiatric medications, mental illness, DSM 5 TR diagnostic criteria, brain development, childhood trauma, personality disorders, etc.) Through these videos, we will explore the brain & human behavior on all levels. I will be interviewing other experts on topics such as depression, bipolar disorder, suicide, PTSD, eating disorders, child therapy, substance use, educational testing, learning disorders & autism.

I am committed to providing straightforward, up-to-date, accurate medical information in an efficient, intelligent, and hopefully entertaining format.
