My daughter has had narcolepsy since age 8. Unfortunately it was misdiagnosed as a psychological illness for five years. She is being treated and responding well to treatment. Those five years without appropriate treatment were hell for my daughter and our family. At age l6 we struggle with her desire to drive. Any thoughts on this difficut teen issue exacerbated by narcolepsy?
