What is Understanding Narcolepsy: Symptoms & Treatment about?
Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and dysregulation of REM sleep, classified under Hypersomnolence Disorders in the DSM-5-TR. It has two subtypes: Type 1 with cataplexy and Type 2 without cataplexy, affecting approximately 0.02–0.05% of the population, with a bimodal onset peak between ages 15-25 and 30-35. Treatment includes medications, lifestyle changes, and supportive care, while cultural perceptions can influence diagnosis and treatment access.
