Chronic insomnia
I've not slept for more than 2hrs/night in more than a month. I wake up exhausted (obviously), unable to focus on work, or exercise, etc. I've always had insomnia, since childhood. But this time it's a long spell, I'm desperate. Tried almost everything (yoga, meditation, melatonin, homeopathy, mushrooms) apart from heavy duty sleep medication.
Who should I see regarding my condition? Any tips please? Happy to consult too.

Talk to experienced psychiatrist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Hi there are options for chronic insomnia but these need to be explored stepwise. On the therapy side there is something known as CBT-I for insomnia. Also - please see if you are able to address your sleep hygiene (decreasing caffeine intake, light exercise before bed, the use of sleep aids, etc). There is also medication available; this does depend from person to person and may be required - please do not hesitate if the option is needed.
