What Treatments Are Available for Depression-Related Insomnia?
Usually, once the depression has been successfully treated, symptoms of insomnia will improve. Treatment choices for depression depend on how serious the illness is. The most effective treatment for depression is a combination of psychotherapy (counseling or talk therapy) and medication. Medication tends to work more quickly to decrease symptoms while psychotherapy helps people to learn coping strategies to prevent the onset of future depressive symptoms. Psychotherapy can also address coping skills to improve a person’s ability to fall asleep.
