really hard to be in your right mind when you are not sleeping.
lots of docs see it as a chicken/egg sort of thing, but fixing your sleep can do a lot for your mental health. and physical health.

maybe seeing a completely different doc will help her. there is a really stupid stovepiping between neurologists and psychiatrists. but most sleep docs are neurologists and many prescribe psych meds.

good luck to you both.
