Symptoms of Narcolepsy. According to the DSM-5, (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition), narcolepsy is a disorder in which the individual will experience recurrent periods of an irresistible need to sleep, or will fall asleep, or nap within the same day, regardless of whether or not the time and place are appropriate.
The typical onset of narcolepsy is between ages seven and 25. (NINDS, 2013). About 200,000 Americans are diagnosed with narcolepsy. (Psychologist World, 2014) The DSM-5 notes that Narcolepsy affects both men and women, with slightly more men diagnosed. (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).

nonorganic sleep disorders ( F51.-) A condition characterized by recurrent episodes of daytime somnolence and lapses in consciousness (microsomnias) that may be associated with automatic behaviors and amnesia. Cataplexy; sleep paralysis, and hypnagogic hallucinations frequently accompany narcolepsy.
Narcolepsy, symptoms will often be of sufficient severity to seriously disrupt social, personal, and occupational functioning, and severely curtail daily activities (Psychologist world, 2014) The DSM-5 notes that Individuals with narcolepsy will incur risk at occupations involving driving vehicles or operating heavy machinery,.
Narcolepsy is a neurologically based, chronic, hypersomnic type of sleep disorder, which typically appears in childhood, adolescence or young adulthood. Despite adequate nocturnal sleep, the individual will experience daytime fatigue, or EDS (Excessive Daytime Sleepiness) (Psychologist World, 2014), and (University of Tennessee, 2014).The individual will experience sudden loss of muscle tonus ranging from isolated muscle weakness to bilateral, full body loss of muscle tonus, and will fall asleep in inappropriate times and places, which may place themselves or others in danger, if they are driving or doing another potentially hazardous activity. Narcolepsy is accompanied by unusually rapid onset of REM sleep (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). The sleep episodes will typically be triggered by a strong emotional response in the individual (Psychologist world, 2014), or a heavy meal, or general psychosocial stressors (Simon, 2012). Their should be an objective laboratory finding of abnormally low levels of hypocretin, a neuropeptide associated with sleep/wake and arousal levels, (Tsujino & Sakurai, 2009), and according to a polysomnography study, unusually low amounts of REM sleep during nocturnal sleep. Hypnogogic hallucinations (vivid dreams upon onset of sleep) hypnopompic hallucination (vivid dreams upon waking) and sleep paralysis (inability to move upon waking) can be part of the clinical presentation (Simon, 2012).
Hypnogogic hallucinations (vivid dreams upon onset of sleep ) hypnopompic hallucination (vivid dreams upon waking) and sleep paralysis (inability to move upon waking) can be part of the clinical presentation (Simon, 2012).
These episodes must occur at least three times per week over the past three months, accompanied by at least one of the following symptoms:
The typical onset of narcolepsy is between ages seven and 25. (NINDS, 2013).
Narcolepsy is a neurologically based disorder which will typically require pharmacological intervention to relieve symptoms. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) may be a useful adjunct to deal with associated anxiety, or to assist with making lifestyle changes which could ameliorate symptoms. (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
The DSM-5 indicates that Narcolepsy can be comorbid with bipolar disorder, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, and sometimes schizophrenia. Narcolepsy is correlated with increased body mass index or obesity, particularly when left untreated. Rapid weight gain is commonly seen in children with sudden onset of narcolepsy.
