The deep connection between your sleep cycle and your psychiatric health.

Sleep is not just rest; it is a critical physiological process for emotional regulation. When you don't sleep, your amygdala (the brain's emotional center) becomes hyper reactive, making everything feel like a crisis. Conversely, anxiety and depression often make it impossible to stay asleep.

If you are "tired but wired," lifestyle changes like "sleep hygiene" are a start, but sometimes the root cause is neurochemical. Addressing the underlying anxiety or depression is often the only way to truly restore your sleep. At Telepsych4You, we look at sleep as a pillar of your overall treatment plan.
