Brief Summary:
The main objective is to examine the potential mentalization impairments affecting a population suffering from narcolepsy type 1 Indeed the hypothesis of this research is that mentalization could be impaired in narcoleptic patients
Detailed Description:
Narcolepsy type 1 NT1 is a rare and still poorly understood pathology which can have a significant impact on patients daily life Beyond the experience of their chronic illness their feelings about the difficulties they go through during their lives seem relatively blunted as if what could be described as restrictive could be acceptable for them Moreover the response generated by constraint even if it is a refusal rarely turns out to be impulsive or aggressive
Rapid Eye Movement REM sleep is known to play a role in emotional regulation and also in narcolepsy These processes both take place in hypothalamus so a link between them seems conceivable Surprisingly the studies about depression impulsivity addictions facial emotional recognition in narcoleptic patients show results that differs from the expectations of the investigators and can even be at the opposite It appears difficult to have a clear idea of the mental state of narcoleptic patients
Mentalization is a concept with a strong empirical base It corresponds to ability to understand the mental state of oneself or others that underlies overt behaviour The idea of this research is that this process is modified in narcoleptic patients
The main objective is to examine the potential mentalization impairments affecting a population suffering from narcolepsy type 1 To realise this study a group of patients with NT1 and a control group will complete several questionnaires which are validated about mentalization and other ones This combination of questionnaire is designed to evaluate the comparability of the groups and search for potential confounding factors
