RESEARCH POSTER PRESENTATION DESIGN © 2011 www.PosterPresentations.com Insomnia Disorder is a pervasive problem that affects 10-15% of the United States population and is characterized by difficulties initiating or staying asleep. The sleep disturbance caused by insomnia can account for significant impairment to an individual’s daytime functioning. Insomnia is typically comorbid with other conditions and is even among the diagnostic criteria for other major psychological disorders. This review summarizes the existing literature regarding insomnia disorder diagnosis in the DSM-5. Potential causes, functional consequences, treatment, and comorbidity with other conditions are topics addressed in this review. Insomnia Disorder: A Review of the Literature ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION METHODS The DSM-5 (2013) diagnostic criteria for insomnia disorder includes the following: A. A predominant complaint of dissatisfaction with sleep quantity or quality associated with one (or more) of the following symptoms: 1.Difficulty initiating sleep. 2.Difficulty maintaining sleep, characterized by frequent awakenings or problems returning to sleep after awakenings. 3.Early-morning awakening with inability to return to sleep. B. The sleep disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, educational, academic, behavioral, or other important areas of functioning. C. The sleep difficulty occurs at least 3 nights per week. D. The sleep difficulty is present for at least 3 months. E. The sleep difficulty occurs despite adequate opportunity for sleep. F. The insomnia is not better explained by and does not occur exclusively during the course of another sleep-wake disorder (e.g., narcolepsy, a breathing-related sleep disorder, a circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorder, a parasomnia). G. The insomnia is not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication). H. Coexisting mental disorders and medical conditions do not adequately explain the predominant complaint of insomnia. (pg. 362) Insomnia Subclasses 1.sleep-onset insomnia (difficulty initiating sleep) 2.sleep maintenance insomnia (difficulty staying asleep) 3.late insomnia (early-morning awakening with difficulty going back to sleep)(American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Causes According to the Mayo Clinic, insomnia can have several causes: 1. Stress – Concerns about work or school, deaths in the family, or divorce can lead to an overactive mind when trying to go to sleep. 2. Depression – The chemical imbalances in the brain associated with depression can make it difficult to relax enough to go to sleep. RESULTS DISCUSSION After a thorough review of the literature, it is clear that insomnia: is a common condition that most everyone experiences at some point in his or her life. produces significant impairments to daytime functioning and can cause a reduction in work productivity, work attendance, decreased cognition and mood, and increased susceptibility to other medical and psychological conditions. is one of the least studied conditions in relation to its prevalence causes many individuals to turn to self-help treatments that have not been shown to be efficacious in lieu of psychiatric or medical help (Kraus & Rabin, 2012). Because insomnia is a major risk factor for future psychiatric or medical illnesses, it is important that clinicians address a client’s sleep patterns during initial assessments (Ishak et al., 2012). Kraus and Rabin (2012) state: “Although chronic insomnia is a crisis placing substantial economic and social burdens on our society, it receives comparatively little, if any, public health or clinician attention” (p. 209). While CBT-I has been proven to be the most effective non-medical intervention, a shortage of trained clinicians, a lack of professional awareness, and poor insurance reimbursement prevents many patients from seeking the help they need (Kraus & Rabin, 2012). More effective tools need to be developed that accurately assess a patient’s sleep patterns. Little is known about the efficacy of CBT-I when insomnia occurs in the presence of other medical or psychiatric disorders (Smith et al., 2005). Research that focuses on effective therapies for insomnia in the presence of other conditions and treatments for specific populations needs to be conducted (Krystal, 2005). Furthermore, more clinically useful subtypes of insomnia need to be developed to allow for more personalized treatment (Krystal, 2005). REFERENCES Patrick Childs Wake Forest University Department of Counseling Insomnia (According to The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – 5 th ed.) Difficulty with sleep quality or quantity Difficulty initiating sleep, difficulty maintaining sleep, or early morning awakenings with inability to return to sleep (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Sleep-Wake Disorders The DSM-5 classifies insomnia disorder with 9 other disorders in a grouping called “Sleep-Wake Disorders” 1.insomnia disorder 2.hypersomnolence disorder 3.narcolepsy 4.breathing-related sleep disorders 5.circadian rhythm sleep disorders 6.non-REM (NREM) sleep arousal disorders 7.nightmare disorder 8.REM sleep behavior disorder 9.restless legs syndrome 10.substance- or medication-induced sleep disorder (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) The Numbers Affects 10% to 15% of the U.S. population (Kraus & Rabin, 2012). Estimated that 25% to 35% of individuals experience insomnia on a short-term or occasional basis (Soares, 2005). Costs billions of dollars every year (Kraus & Rabin, 2012). Despite its high-prevalence, insomnia remains under-diagnosed and under-treated despite the broadening evidence of its negative health effects and the increasing availability of effective treatments (Roth, 2001). Insomnia Facts Drastically affect a patient’s overall health, quality of life and cause disturbances to occupational and social functioning (Ishak et al., 2012). Prevalence of insomnia is increasing over time and researchers have speculated that the aging population, longer workdays and additional work-stress are major causes for its increasing frequency (Roth, 2001). Insomnia is more frequent in women than in men and it becomes more common as age increases (Ishak et al., 2012). The most frequent comorbid condition with insomnia is major depressive disorder (MDD)(Drake et al., 2008). Sources found online through Wake Forest University Z. Smith Reynolds Library Z.
