Are you confident in reliably identifying narcolepsy? This sleep disorder can be difficult to diagnose, with many people facing lengthy delays and misdiagnoses while others can be treated inappropriately for narcolepsy when their symptoms mimic features like cataplexy. In this patient-focused, practical symposium, our expert faculty will unravel the diagnosis of narcolepsy, and explain how the disorder impacts not just sleep itself but many facets of life including cognition and mood.
