These disorders involve a disruption of sleep due to abnormal breathing, most commonly Sleep Apnea. While a sleep study with a medical specialist is often required for diagnosis, the resulting fatigue, daytime sleepiness, and mood changes are significant behavioral health concerns. Our team can work collaboratively with your other doctors to help you manage the mental health impacts of these conditions.

Common Symptoms or Things to Look Out For:

• Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Snoring, witnessed pauses in breathing, or gasping during sleep; daytime sleepiness or fatigue.
• Central Sleep Apnea: Episodes of breathing cessation during sleep without respiratory effort, often leading to frequent awakenings.
• Sleep-Related Hypoventilation: Decreased respiration during sleep leading to elevated carbon dioxide levels and low blood oxygen.
