Sleep Disorder

Sleep Disorder

Sleep disorders are mainly conditions capable of impairing people’s sleep or, in some situations preventing affected patients from getting restful and enough sleep. As a result, these disorders contributed significantly to daytime sleepiness and other symptoms. Insomnia Disorder (seaplanes) is a sleep disorder that affects people’s ability to sleep (Riemann et al., 2020). As a result, affected people may have difficulties falling asleep or staying asleep as they desire. In most cases, insomnia tends to be followed by daytime sleepiness, people experiencing low energy and irritability, and in some cases having a depressed mood. DSM tool/instrument is mainly a handbook used in healthcare institutions as an important authoritative guide, particularly in guiding mental disorders.

 Normally it contains specific descriptions, symptoms, and most importantly, criteria important in diagnosing specific mental disorders. When it comes to Insomnia Disorder, there is no specific test for the disorders. However, healthcare providers tend to perform a physical exam while at the same time asking specific and important questions that help in learning and understanding more about the problem and symptoms of the affected patient with insomnia disorder (Seow,et al., 2018). The primary focus is mainly on a patient’s sleep history. In most cases, insomnia is mainly judged to be related to other major depressive disorders. As a result, insomnia tends to be traditionally viewed and, in most cases, will be treated mainly as a symptom and not necessarily as a disease (Albrecht et al., 2019). This case means that most of the therapies involved mainly focus on resolving some of the common underlying medical factors. As a result, with effective measures, insomnia can be treated, thus ensuring effectiveness and positive outcomes in promoting performance in considerations of the ability of a patient to have enough and restful sleep.
