INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Recorded sources

2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that narcolepsy increases the risk of depression and anxiety disorders?

Unclear. Two sources partially support the claim: a reference article notes a link between narcolepsy and depression, and a review discusses depression and anxiety as comorbidities of narcolepsy while noting anxiety references remain scarce. Neither quantifies the increased risk the claim asserts.
