The Waypoint Research Institute presents another installment in the free Waypoint Talks series with:

Sleep Apnea and Mental Illness: What are the Connections?
Presented by Dr. Kathleen Askland

June 20, 2018
1-3 p.m.
Waypoint Auditorium

Could you have a potentially severe sleep disorder that is affecting your physical and mental health and interfering with treatment of these disorders but not even know it?

* How common is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)?
* What are the symptoms and signs of OSA? (How would you know if
you might have it?)
* Who is at risk for OSA?
* What are we learning about the relationship between OSA and mental
illness?
* If someone has OSA and it is not treated, how might this interfere
with the treatment of his/her mental illness?
* How is OSA treated? How successful is that treatment?
* What are some of the difficulties encountered with treatment of OSA
and what can be done about those challenges?

These are some of the questions that will be addressed in this presentation. Dr. Askland also welcomes all questions from the audience regarding OSA, its treatment, the relationships between OSA and mental illness and the research being done on this topic. Audience members are also encouraged to share their experiences with OSA and treatment.
