In this episode, Dr. Nishi Bhopal, an integrative psychiatrist and sleep medicine physician, discusses the importance of considering sleep apnea testing in patients who do not exhibit classic symptoms. She shares insights on how to recognize sleep disordered breathing in atypical presentations, particularly in women, who often report symptoms like insomnia and depression instead. Dr. Bhopal also highlights a case study, the limitations of traditional diagnostic tools, and provides practical advice on evaluating and managing sleep apnea.
