Understanding the Psychological and Emotional Aspects of Parasomnia in Adults

Abstract

Diana Shooli*

Parasomnia disorders are characterized by unusual behaviors, movements and experiences during sleep. While research has primarily focused on the clinical and neurological aspects of parasomnia, this paper explores the less-explored psychological and emotional dimensions of parasomnia in adults. This review aims to shed light on the potential impact of parasomnia on mental well-being and emotional health, offering insights into how these disorders affect the lives of those experiencing them. The findings underline the importance of a comprehensive understanding of parasomnia that encompasses not only the clinical aspects but also the psychological and emotional implications for affected individuals.
