Improving Well-being by Improving Memory for Treatment for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sleep Disorder, Circadian Dysregulation

In brief

Mental illness is often chronic, severe, and difficult to treat. Though there has been significant progress towards establishing effective and efficient interventions for psychological health problems, many individuals do not gain lasting benefits from these treatments. The Memory Support Intervention (MSI) was developed utilizing existing findings from the cognitive science literature to improve treatment outcomes. In this study, the investigators aim to conduct an open trial that includes individuals 55 years and older to assess if a simplified version of the Memory Support Intervention improves sleep and circadian functioning, reduces functional impairment, and improves patient memory for treatment.
