Objectives : The purpose of this study was to quantitatively assess multiphasic personality inventory results of narcolepsy affecting mental health using military personality inventory in Korea.
Method : We registered the 19-year-old men who visited the Military Manpower Administration from February 2010 to January 2013.
Results : Among demographic characteristics, both narcolepsy and control groups are 19-year-old male. Education level and socioeconomic status are higher(χ2=4.23, p=0.04 ; χ2=17.94, p=0.001) in control group. BMI is higher(t=-3.10, p=0.002) in narcolepsy group. Parents relationship showed no difference between control and narcolepsy groups(χ2=7.57, p=0.06). Among validity scales, score of faking good subscale was higher(t=4.368, p<0.001) in control group, of faking bad subscale was higher(t=-2.497, p=0.013) in narcolepsy group, of infrequency subscale showed no difference(t=-0.466, p=0.642) between control and narcolepsy groups. Among neurosis scales, the score of somatization, depression, anxiety, and personality disorder subscales were higher in narcolepsy group, respectively(t=-4.721, p<0.001 ; t=-5.189, p<0.001 ; t=-6.068, p<0.001 ; t=-2.161, p=0.032). Among psychopath scales, the score of paranoia subscale was higher in narcolepsy group(t=-2.795, p=0.006), of schizophrenia subscale showed no difference (t=-0.687, p=0.493).
Conclusion : According to MPI results, we suggest that narcolepsy patients are more concerned with their somatic symptoms, more depressive and anxious, have more introverted or impulsive tendency and paranoid traits.
