Cognitive behavioral treatment helps treat insomnia

I mentioned that CBT can be used for other disorders besides depression.

Insomnia has also been shown to improve with CBT. Cognitive behavioral therapy can be provided both individually or in a group setting. The importance of a quality night's sleep can't be emphasized enough, especially when dealing with depression. Just think about it, if everything in your life is going well and your only problem is your sleep, this alone can significantly disrupt your life.

Even not sleeping well for one night can make your depression worse. A comprehensive treatment plan, including an insomnia evaluation, is necessary to successfully treat depression. Treating your insomnia will likely require that you make changes in your life. Medication may be recommended to use short-term for insomnia, depending on the cause. Share with others here if you've found CBT effective in treating insomnia.
