Hamad Medical explains sleep disorder diagnosis
The article discusses methods of diagnosing sleep disorders and their importance in identifying causes and treatment. Dr. Ahmed Al-Shahrani, a consultant in psychiatric medicine at Hamad Medical Corporation, explained that the assessment mainly depends on the individual's medical history, including when the problem started, its type—whether related to falling asleep, staying asleep, or early waking. It is essential to determine whether the issue is organic or respiratory in nature, as this influences the decision to refer patients to specialists such as sleep or pulmonology doctors. Accurate diagnosis aims to improve treatment and guide patients to specialized clinics, with an expected increase in sleep disorder screening centers in the future to meet the growing demand.
