This chapter addresses concepts in sleep medicine associated with mental health symptoms.

Some specific information on mental health conditions is provided in terms of insomnia, depression, and schizophrenia symptoms. Tables and figures present common sleep conditions that are associated with mental health conditions. A figure by the author proposes a pathway to the association between poor sleep quality and mental health conditions.
