Abstract

Laura Rabin

Chronic insomnia, a public health crisis affecting 10-15% of the US population and costing billions of dollars per year, is frequently associated with one or more comorbid psychiatric or organic conditions. Chronic insomnia has historically been classified as "secondary" to a presenting comorbid condition, resulting in under-recognition and under-treatment of both the insomnia and the comorbid condition (s). Chronic insomnia receives little, if any, public policy attention despite being critical in any model of comorbid disease management.
