Narcolepsy: 14 Signs You Might Not Have Noticed
14. Mood Swings
Narcolepsy can cause severe mood swings. One minute they may feel sad, and the next minute happy. It is because they don’t get enough sleep, are not rested or are constantly agitated.
Other factors can also cause depression. Depression can be caused by sleeping during the day but staying awake at night. Some people are upset when they feel that something is wrong, but can’t pinpoint the problem. Bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders and other conditions can also cause mood swings.
While mood swings can be a symptom that is often overlooked, they are enough to make someone seek medical attention. The treatment of narcolepsy may not stop all swings in mood but it may help to treat the problems causing these swings or reduce their severity.
