>I have family members that had exactly what this is talking about happen to them: Abnormal Sleep as a Cause of Mental Symptoms http://itsnotmental.blogspot.com/2009/03/abnormal-sleep-as-cause-of-mental.html

Here is a good link I found from the Narcolepsy sleep center at Children's Hospital Center of Philedelphia saying what the It's Not Mental blog said about narcolepsy getting diagnosed as mental illness because it can look like hallucinations and delusions.

Seems to me that there is such a fine line and why we call one neurological and one "mental illness" or "psychiatric" seems ridiculous. Especially if, as they are finding, some cases are being caused by the sleep problems (which are considered neurological) and not the other way around.

I guess once they find the cause then it suddenly is no longer the mental illness. (?)
