TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Sleep disorders in psychiatry JO - BJPsych advances A1 - Selsick, H. A1 - O'Regan, D. SP - 273 EP - 283 VL - 24 IS - 4 N2 - Sleep medicine is a truly multidisciplinary field that covers psychiatric, neurological and respiratory conditions. As the field has developed it has become increasingly clear that there is a great deal of overlap between sleep and psychiatric disorders and it is therefore essential for psychiatrists to have some knowledge of sleep medicine. Even those disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnoea, that may seem to be outside the remit of psychiatry can have complex and important interactions with psychiatric conditions. In this article we give a brief overview of the range of sleep disorders a psychiatrist might encounter, how they are recognised, investigated and treated, and how they relate to psychiatric conditions. © The Royal College of Psychiatrists 2018.
