I was just diagnosed with narcolepsy (with flying colors), which was always mistaken for depression. could my inability in controlling my tears be pba?

Other illnesses?: Pseudobulbar affect (pba) is a medical condition with sudden, uncontrollable episodes of crying or laughing -- sometimes called emotional incontinence. It can be triggered by stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (lou gehrig’s disease), parkinson’s disease and dementias including alzheimer's. I found no literature linking narcolepsy with pba.

Complex: Although narcolepsy is not associated with true pseudobulbar affectual disorder, head trauma is, and can cause post-traumatic narcolepsy in susceptible individuals. However, consider this approach for your tears, if appropriate, a drug called nuedexta, which might help.
