Abstract

Theoretical constructs defining quality of life (QOL) and the significance of measuring quality of life in chronic illnesses are discussed. Narcolepsy can be a very disabling condition with negative consequences on the physical, mental, and social well-being of some affected individuals. Pharmacologic treatment may not be optimal. To alleviate the compound effects of this disorder, a comprehensive, person-centered and family-centered approach incorporating pharmacologic and psychosocial management with multidisciplinary clinicians working as a team will improve the quality of care and QOL of people with narcolepsy.
