Mental health clinics, particularly the ones serving middle-aged and elderly patients, are usually confronted with serious problems of insomnia, which could trigger or aggravate physical or emotional ailments. It could also lead to drug dependence or contribute to polypharmacy. In this study, we have attempted to make a profile of the insomniacs of a VA Mental Hygiene Clinic and to correlate several variables found in common among the patients. Our work indicated that certain drugs such as benzodiazepines were more effective than others. It also indicated that certain types of insomnia, such as that with frequent awakenings, were more amenable to treatment.
心理健康诊所，尤其是那些为中老年患者服务的诊所，通常面临着严重的失眠问题，这可能引发或加重身体或情绪疾病。它还可能导致药物依赖或增加联合用药情况。在本研究中，我们试图勾勒出一家退伍军人心理健康诊所失眠患者的概况，并关联患者中发现的几个共同变量。我们的研究表明，某些药物如苯二氮䓬类药物比其他药物更有效。研究还表明，某些类型的失眠，如频繁觉醒型失眠，更易于治疗。
