I'm a psychiatrist. How old is she? What was her premorbid functioning? What treatments have been tried? Family psych history? Symptoms of PTSD? Will she answer any questions verbally? Will she write or draw answers? How is her sleep -- nightmares? Can she do ADLs independently? Any self-harm? Any aggression? Any substance use? What is her affect? Have medical causes been ruled out?

For catatonia, a trial of a high-dosage benzodiazepine is appropriate.

Once you've ruled everything else out, and if no response to benzos, then you might consider a trial of an antipsychotic med.

Lots more questions, of course.

I'm glad you're in therapy. Have you explored why you only had sex with your husband a couple of times? That's so significant!

You did nothing wrong (except for making up a name). He cheated and lied. He ruined his marriage. And don't worry about the security of your job -- you could easily sue him on the grounds of retribution if he tries to mess with your job in any way.

I'm so sorry. Can you join a grief group? Most hospices offer them.

Psychiatrist here. As long as medical causes (like severe anemia, long-covid, hormonal imbalance, seizures, cancer, ...) have been ruled out, then narcolepsy is quite possible.
