What is Kleine-Levin syndrome?

Kleine-Levin's syndrome (KLS) is a mystifying neurological disorder that most affects young men and women in adolescence and insists on young adulthood. KLS produces widespread seizures of extreme drowsiness and impaired knowledge, which is paired with a significant reduction in emotional sensitivity. These matches can take weeks to months, which makes it impossible to participate in normal activities and may reappear, while the condition lasts up to ten years. With a small successful treatment of Kleine-Levin syndrome, one can be robbed of their ability to be a full participant for years until recovery has been recovered.

KLS was also called the Sleeping Beauty Syndrome and its symptoms, the best known is hypersomnolence or very long periods of sleep. A person with this disease can only awaken and use a toilet or eat something, and when they wake up, behavior is very different from the normal. People in the state of Awake, when they experience a seizure of hypersomunolence, are usually apathetic or unwavering and the term "distributed" wasused to describe the cognitive range.

During these matches, it is not possible to simply speak to the person of drowsiness or accept the mentality of "bootstraps" to make them get up. Apathy means that emotions cannot be appealed and the level of understanding can be poor in any case. Even when using stimulants to wake up a person up, behavioral features can remain present and participation in normal activities can still be difficult or impossible.

In some people, the features of the Kleine-Levinian syndrome are going during the most active seizures of the state. Some people become hypersexual and may be less able to observe normal gender boundaries during this time. There is also a higher incidence of overeating, which can correlate with higher weight levels if seizures last long or often occur.

Causes of Kleine-Levin syndrome are not fully understood and some feel that the stateIt is related to disorders such as bipolar disorder. To this end, some doctors can treat KLS stabilizers of moods such as lithium or carbamazepine. It is not clear whether they are fully successful, even if they show useful for some people. The most mysterious is that people in this disease ultimately recover, usually when they are at the age of 20, although some people may have occasional, less serious episodes.

When KLS is resolved, it often means that people have to do much more to try to restore some of the things they have lost as a result of illness. Many people with Kleine-Levin syndrome missed that they were able to complete important milestones such as graduation in high school and college. They may need support to replace these things to fully monitor their lives. Psychological support is recommended, because people with KLS may feel isolated or mourn into a life that they have, while these episodes have suffered.
