• Yash Anil Chaudhari

Abstract

The current study aims to examine, in a community mental health setting, the efficiency of cognitive behaviour therapy in managing depression and Insomnia (sleeplessness) in older adults. In addition, the study intends to identify if an advanced version of cognitive behaviour therapy for insomnia is more efficient than a traditional version of the therapy.Co-occurrence of insomnia and depression illustrates an intricate, interactive relationshipWhenever a therapist applies cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), it may reduce the severity of both depression and insomnia in patients who have both disorders together. It is seen as the first line of treatment for depression and insomnia. In an attempt to reduce symptoms, CBT combines a variety of therapy techniques, such as sleep restriction, stimulus management, education on healthy sleep hygiene, and teaching relaxation skillsHaving trouble falling or staying asleep is known as insomnia, and it frequently coexists with mental health conditions. Comorbid insomnia is no longer viewed as a secondary condition to primary psychiatric disorders, but rather as a separate medical condition that needs to be treated on its own. An evidence-based treatment for insomnia is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-I). The consequences. Since insomnia that coexists with psychiatric disorders has been linked to more severe psychiatric symptoms, as well as studies showing effects from CBT-I on both insomnia and psychiatric symptomology, interest in CBT-I on comorbid psychiatric conditions has grown. The body of research on CBT-I for comorbid mental groups has grown and developed methodologically in recent years. This article examines current research on how CBT-I affects sleep, symptoms during the day, and function.Keywords:- CBT-I, Insomnia, Depression, Cognitive Therapy, Behaviour, Disorder, Mental health, Anxiety, PTSD, Psychosis.
