Personalised Treatment for Sleep Disorders

A detailed psychiatric assessment reviews sleep history, symptom patterns, medical conditions, current medications, lifestyle factors, and mental health concerns that may be affecting sleep quality.

Sleep disorders often share symptoms with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and other psychiatric conditions. A comprehensive evaluation helps establish an accurate diagnosis before treatment begins.

When clinically appropriate, medication is carefully selected and monitored to improve sleep while considering effectiveness, side effects, and each patient’s overall treatment goals.

For patients who may benefit from behavioural treatment, care can be coordinated with therapists providing evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) or other appropriate psychological interventions.

Sleep patterns can change over time. Regular follow-up appointments allow treatment to be adjusted as symptoms improve or clinical needs evolve.

Evaluating Sleep Disorders Alongside Other Mental Health Conditions

Persistent sleep problems frequently occur alongside other psychiatric disorders. Identifying these co-occurring conditions is an important part of developing an effective treatment plan.

Dr. Akram evaluates sleep disorders in patients with:

Women’s Mental Health Conditions

Other Complex Psychiatric Disorders

By evaluating both sleep concerns and overall psychiatric health, treatment recommendations are tailored to address the underlying causes affecting long-term sleep quality.
