The importance of sleep in the treatment of chronic mood disorders is not a new concept. Nearly a century ago, Kraepelin, one of the founders of modern scientific psychiatry, wrote: “The attacks of manic-depressive insanity are invariably accompanied by all kinds of bodily changes. By far the most striking are the disorders of sleep and general nourishment.”
Since these words were shared by Kraepelin, the volume of accumulated literature on the interplay between sleep and mood has substantially increased. In the scientific realm, much is known about the bidirectional relationship of mood and sleep. Clinically, both the influence of disturbed sleep on manic episodes related to bipolar disorder and persistent sleep disturbances in unipolar and bipolar depression highlight the need for clinicians to use a systematic approach in managing sleep complaints in patients with bipolar disorder.
This neuroscienceCME Snack™ activity highlights the critical, clinical steps involved in providing optimal care to patients with bipolar disorder who have hypersomnia, sleep loss, or disturbed sleep.
This educational activity centers on the CMEO Make One Change Statement. This statement is crafted from pertinent quality measures or clinical guidelines as a performance challenge to all participants. The Make One Change Statement for this activity is:
Initiate and maintain a solid communication dynamic with patients with bipolar depression so that they understand the role of sleep in bipolar disorder outcomes.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Accurately and routinely administer validated questionnaires to improve detection of sleep disturbances and other residual symptoms in patients with bipolar depression.
- Employ evidence-based and measure-based care strategies to optimize outcomes for patients with bipolar depression.
This activity is supported by an educational grant from Teva Pharmaceuticals
Physicians, pharmacists, and other health care professionals with an interest in sleep and bipolar disorder.
