Tip of the Week

REM-Behaviour Disorder (RBD) is characterized by physically acting out dreams while asleep. Although usually idiopathic and tending to affect older males, it has been associated with a variety of primary neurological diseases, most notably narcolepsy and Parkinson'sīs disease. The impressive oneiric (dream) behavior displayed by RBD patients is frequently misdiagnosed as seizures or psychiatric disorders. Treatment with clonazepam is very effective.
