Presented by: Fiona Barwick, PhD, DBSM
Stanford University School of Medicine

From this session, you will be able to:
- Discuss the bidirectional relationship, including shared pathophysiology, between the most common sleep and psychiatric disorders 
- Evaluate models of sleep health, sleep-wake biology, and developmental factors to identify possible points of intervention for improving sleep and psychiatric symptomatology
- Identify strategies to target aspects in one or more of these models to improve not only sleep, but daytime energy and self-efficacy, leading to better management of psychiatric symptoms and increased ability to engage in psychiatric treatment

Note: This presentation is suitable for both clinicians seeking information relevant to the sleep needs of their psychiatric patients; and for the general public, seeking information on sleep health and sleep quality. [Non-clinical viewers may prefer to begin watching at ~49:00 minutes.]
