Using SPECT imaging, weâve discovered that depression and anxiety, like many other psychiatric conditions, are not just single or simple disorders, but rather there are 7 different types based on different patterns in the brain, and each requires its own treatment.
Apnea: Introduction. Apnea is a cessation or pause in breathing. Very short episodes of apnea can be normal, and a person can induce voluntary, short-term apnea by holding one's breath. However, apnea can also be a symptom of a variety of mild to serious disorders, diseases or conditions.
Sometimes, treatment can be started during the first night in the sleep center. The treatment of choice for obstructive sleep apnea is continuous positive airway pressure device (CPAP). CPAP is a mask that fits over the nose and/or mouth, and gently blows air into the airway to help keep it open during sleep. This method of treatment is highly effective.
