The big sleep update with Dr. Michael Mak
“The lines between sleep, health and mental health in general are blurred.”
Sleep is an important topic. It comes up on a regular basis when we meet with our patients. But what are the best treatments to prescribe? Is medication the way to go? What are our options?
On this episode of Quick Takes, Dr. David Gratzer hosts CAMH psychiatrist and sleep medicine specialist, Dr. Michael Mak. They discuss the impact of sleep (or lack thereof) on mental health and the current psychopharmacological and therapeutical treatments available.
** During this episode’s conversation we learn about:**
- the impact insomnia and other sleep disorders have on mental health
- how the new family of insomnia treatments compares to the old
- possibly the best form of treatment currently available
- and how mobile apps and web tools play a role in sleep therapy.
