I would recommend it highly. If I'd been treated for sleep apnea when it was originally diagnosed with it in 2000, I'd have saved myself many years of pain and suffering.
If youve failed a bunch of psych meds and you snore and feel real tired or fatigued in the day and your sleep quality is subjectively poor, a sleep medicine specialist can possibly do wonders for you. It happened to me and I had given up by 2007, basically. I had written myself off by 2006/2007 as a lost cause, no hope for proper treatment.
I just posted this today because I had a little flareup yesterday and today and Im quickly reminded how much of my "mind" and mood is dependent on compliance with my CPAP gear.
