How is insomnia related to mental health?

People with insomnia have trouble falling or staying asleep, or they do not feel rested when they wake up. Approximately 50% of insomnia cases are related to depression, anxiety or psychological stress. People with behavioral and mental health conditions are more prone to having sleep disorders. Treating a sleep disorder may help alleviate symptoms of these conditions.

87% of Alpha mental health patients with severe anxiety and depression showed improvement after their first return visit.
