d. Program Description: Core symptoms of sleep-wake disturbances often co-occur in many psychiatric disorders including depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Excessive sleepiness, a primary symptom of sleep disorders, is defined as difficulty maintaining wakefulness and an intense drive for sleep even in inappropriate circumstances. Excessive sleepiness is highly prevalent in patients with major depressive disorder (10% to 20%) and atypical depression (36.2%), and is an iatrogenic effect of many psychotropic drugs that may result in impairments including increased motor vehicle accidents and occupational hazards. Patients with psychiatric disorders also represent an “at-risk” population for the development of obstructive sleep apnea, and should be evaluated if they exhibit symptoms of sleep apnea, are overweight, or are on chronic neuroleptic treatment. This overlap of symptoms and disorders has resulted in a performance gap for clinicians. What tools can aid in differentiating between a primary sleep disorder and psychiatric illness? What questions should clinicians be asking their psychiatric patients to uncover sleep-wake disturbances? What course of treatment should be pursued? When is a referral to a sleep specialist appropriate? In this evidence-based neuroscience CME TV activity, the experts will provide insights and strategies to aid clinicians in developing and implementing a decision tree for the practical management of sleep disturbances in patients with psychiatric illness. To provide current and clinically relevant data on the effect of pharmacologic therapy, when used in combination with psychosocial support, to improve abstinence rates in patients with alcohol dependence.
Activity Goal: To provide recommendations and practical tools that will enable clinicians to improve recognition, diagnosis, and management of symptoms of excessive sleepiness in persons with psychiatric disorders.
Learning Objectives: At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Distinguish symptomatology of primary sleep disorders and primary psychiatric disorders.
- Identify iatrogenic causes of excessive sleepiness associated with the management of common psychiatric disorders.
- Describe two assessment tools that clinicians can utilize for the recognition and diagnosis of sleep-wake disturbances.
- Design and implement a decision tree for the practical management of excessive sleepiness in patients with psychiatric illness.
