I've been recently diagnosed with Narcolepsy. I've had it for a long time, but finally got the right sleep specialist who spotted the truth. I've also been diagnosed with panic/anxiety disorder and depression much earlier than the Narcolepsy diagnosis. I am on a Narcolepsy forum, and I've noticed that quite a few of us with the N disorder also have P/A disorder and almost ALL of us have depression. I'd love to see if there is a link between P/A and Narcolepsy. Drop me a message or reply right here if you also have a Narcolepsy diagnosis please?

I don't have narcolepsy but there are studies out there such as this one that show links:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20114128

Thats a pretty high % (although the sample size is small)

Here is an article about that study:
