What is narcolepsy?
Narcolepsy is a rare disease in my country, but not a rare disease. The incidence rate in my country is about 1/2000. In other words, there are about 700,000 people across the country who suffer from this disease. However, due to the late understanding of narcolepsy and a high misdiagnosis rate in my country, less than 5,000 people have been diagnosed. The cause of narcolepsy is unknown, and the expert consensus is mainly related to genetics. If a first-degree relative is ill, the prevalence rate of his/herself is 40-50 times higher than that of normal people. upper respiratory tract infection can be induced.

Does narcolepsy require lifelong medication? Are there any side effects?
Liu Xiaoli, deputy director of the Department of Sleep Medicine at Zhuzhou Third Hospital, said: Many people are concerned about whether the drugs have side effects. We must weigh the pros and cons and not give up on food because of choking, especially when you need to use medicine at critical moments in your life. Once you find that you have narcolepsy, you should seek help from a professional hospital in time, intervene as soon as possible, and treat it in time.
Most of the patients with narcolepsy are children and adolescents. They are unable to receive education due to their condition, resulting in a low employment rate in adulthood, which seriously affects the quality of life and physical and mental health of patients and families. Here, we call on the society to provide patients with more psychological support, such as schools and units can provide patients with regular day nap conditions, etc. The patients themselves should also follow the doctor's instructions to take medicine, develop good regular sleep habits, and ensure night sleep.
