Insomnia is a common medical problem highly comorbid with medical and psychiatric conditions. It may represent a risk factor, and a bad predictor for several medical and psychiatric conditions, so both insomnia and the concomitant condition must be assessed and treated. Moreover, there are medical conditions or disorders that may mimic insomnia and a medical referral is often necessary.
