DIS: RAISING AWARENESS Towards DISorders of Sleep With a Deep-Dive-Focus into Type 1 Narcolepsy
Created by a person (a patient) with
3 Sleep Disorders
.
The book touches on various facts and stats related to Sleep in general, and Sleep Disorders, but very much diving into real depths on the disease Narcolepsy, and especially living with Severe Cataplexy.
Within the book are a combination of thorough breakdowns with powerful imagery (paintings and sketches), attempting to offer insight into sleep, the symptoms and struggles of living with, Sleep Disorders.
There are over 44 citations in the book, with 88 pages, around half of which are art.
The breakdowns made within the heart of the book, the Cataplexy section, are unique and go deeper than anything commonly seen, presented, or discussed on the symptom/condition.
Having always been very psychoanalytical, the many years of living with severe (collapsing) Cataplexy before having a name for what was going on, while being very tuned into it, then discovering the term, and getting confirmation of it being Ever since trying to grasp better the condition, has made many aspects of the symptom/condition very apparent and obvious.
The book is meant to offer actual 'insight and clarity' into the symptom/condition Cataplexy, which could very much actually be quite enlightening to the doctor/researcher experts in the field of Narcolepsy, and any doctor for that matter as so many really still have no actual familiarity along with understanding, of Cataplexy.
This is the 4th self published book, which within all of, are different attempts at portraying, expressing and communicating the difficulties, which often are so complex and deeply rooted, that a person has real difficulties even beginning to note what is going on, for what it actually is.
This book went through a thorough editing process which strengthened it, the author is proud and excited about having created the book.

Self-Publishing began to seem appealing over the past couple of years, as writing had become a therapeutic exercise which I'd found during some rough times within the medical realm.
This was while trying to get confirmation to my having Narcolepsy with Cataplexy.
If I can help another, I am happy, and I know there are many out there who have similar health matters or are just in a rough place; the hope and intent of my writing is, to hopefully help others in some way or ways...
