Sleep and psychiatric disorders generally occur at the same time, and also untreated sleep disorders can increase the risk of developing psychiatric conditions, such as depression, later in life. According to the recent reports, it is found that as many as two-thirds of patients referred to sleep disorders centers have a psychiatric disorder. The most common psychiatric disorders are associated with sleep complaints which includes depression, anxiety, and substance (illicit drugs and alcohol) abuse.
