A pervasive sleep disorder named insomnia has been increasingly recognized as a major factor leading comorbidity in individuals suffering with mental health problems. The review article demonstrated the cause and impact of insomnia through literature on individuals who are already struggling with mental health issues. After a thorough database research, Studies evaluating the prevalence rates of insomnia across different mental health illnesses, such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder, were found. In addition to this, review article examines the duality of insomnia and mental health. It explains how insomnia worsens psychiatric symptoms while also exacerbating them. It also discusses how untreated insomnia can affect the development and prognosis of psychiatric disorders, as well as how treatment strategies can address both sleep disorders and psychiatric symptoms. Finally, it explores potential mechanisms that may be at play between insomnia and psychiatric disorders, including dysregulation of neurotransmitters, hypothalamic, pituitary, and adrenal functions, as well as cognitive and emotional processes. By understanding the complex relationship between insomnia and psychological health, holistic interventions can be developed that address both sleep disturbance and psychiatric symptoms, leading to improved well-being and overall quality of life.
