The symptoms of narcolepsy can have significant consequences for a patient’s health and wellness. Sleep attacks, sleepiness, and cataplexy may be life-threatening while driving or in other contexts where safety is crucial, therefore accidents are a major issue. People with narcolepsy are three to four times more likely to be involved in an automobile accident, according to studies.
Sleepiness and lapses in focus may impair performance and be misinterpreted as behavioral issues, particularly in children.
Many people with narcolepsy experience social isolation as a result of the condition's stigma. Without enough help, this may lead to mental health issues and have a detrimental impact on education, job, and relationships.
