Question 1 of 5
A patient being treated for insomnia is prescribed ramelteon (Rozerem). Which comorbid mental health condition would make this medication the hypnotic of choice for this particular patient?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Substance use disorder. Ramelteon is a melatonin receptor agonist used to treat insomnia by regulating the sleep-wake cycle without the risk of dependence or abuse, making it ideal for patients with substance use disorder. People with substance use disorder often have disrupted sleep patterns, and ramelteon can help improve their sleep without the risk of worsening their substance use disorder.
A: Obsessive-compulsive disorder - Ramelteon does not specifically target symptoms of OCD.
B: Generalized anxiety disorder - While insomnia can be a symptom of GAD, other medications may be more suitable for addressing anxiety symptoms.
C: Persistent depressive disorder - Ramelteon may not directly address depressive symptoms, and other medications may be more effective for PDD.
Overall, the unique pharmacological profile of ramelteon makes it an appropriate choice for patients with substance use disorder who also have insomnia.
