Introduction

For this discussion, you will review the case presented in the Symptom Media video, “Insomnia Due to a Medical Condition.” The video provides a realistic clinical portrayal of a patient experiencing significant sleep disturbances associated with an underlying medical condition. Sleep disturbances are common among individuals with chronic health issues and can greatly affect mood, cognitive function, and overall quality of life. Understanding the interplay between medical comorbidities and sleep is therefore essential for developing an effective, patient-centered care plan.

This paper will begin with a comprehensive mental status examination (MSE) to assess the patient’s general appearance, behavior, mood, thought processes, and cognitive functioning. The MSE provides a structured framework for understanding the patient’s current psychological and emotional state.

Next, a case formulation and biopsychosocial assessment will be presented to explore how biological, psychological, and social factors contribute to the patient’s insomnia. This section integrates clinical observations with relevant contextual factors such as medical history, lifestyle, stressors, and support systems.

Finally, an individualized treatment plan will be developed, combining both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions. This plan will focus on improving sleep quality, managing comorbid conditions, and promoting long-term wellness through evidence-based strategies.

Through this analysis, the goal is to demonstrate a holistic understanding of insomnia within the context of medical comorbidity and to outline an approach that aligns with best practices in psychiatric-mental health care.
