Can narcolepsy lead to schizophrenia?
#1
Schizophrenia does not immediately result from narcolepsy. Nonetheless, both disorders entail abnormalities in brain activity, which can occasionally result in symptoms that overlap, such as disorganised thought patterns or hallucinations. Schizophrenia is a mental illness that manifests as symptoms including hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking, whereas narcolepsy is a sleep disease marked by excessive daytime drowsiness. Narcolepsy sufferers may have "sleep attacks" and vivid hallucinations or dreams, especially during hypnagogic hallucinations, which occur during the transition between sleep and awake. Even though these experiences might be upsetting, schizophrenia is not the cause of them. Although they improve alertness and cognitive function and help control narcolepsy symptoms, medications such as Modalert 200 australia do not raise the risk of schizophrenia. The two illnesses can be distinguished with appropriate therapy.
