Excessive sleepiness is a common, highly impactful problem not commonly reported and frequently misdiagnosed by physicians. While prevalence reports of narcolepsy vary, patients often do not seek medical advice for their symptoms or, if they do, they receive inaccurate diagnoses. Because of this, it’s possible that more than 1 in 2000 people are living with narcolepsy. It may even take 10 to 15 years to be diagnosed, during which time these patients are impaired. What signs and symptoms are both clinicians and patients missing?

Tune in to hear a patient, Julie Flygare, JD, recount her bizarre symptoms and receive clinical tips on how to improve your identification of overlooked sleep disorders and narcolepsy. Drs. Zee, Doghramji, and Kuritzky provide their clinical insight and expertise on this serious medical condition that continues to be grossly misdiagnosed, underdiagnosed, and undermanaged. By improving your ability to detect, accurately diagnose, and appropriately manage narcolepsy, you can improve the quality of life and health outcomes for your patients. Find out what subtle signs and red flags you need to be on the lookout for and what exciting therapies are now available for these patients.
