Why would a psychiatrist prescribe modvigil?

To treat excessive daytime drowsiness brought on by disorders like narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, or shift work sleep disorder, a psychiatrist may recommend Modvigil, a brand of modafinil. It enhances alertness and cognitive function and encourages wakefulness. Psychiatrists may use it off-label to treat cognitive problems, concentration problems, or weariness in patients with multiple sclerosis, depression, or ADHD. Since modvigil has a lesser risk for abuse than conventional stimulants, it is recommended. However, because to potential adverse effects, medication interactions, and the necessity of treating underlying neurological or mental disorders, its usage is closely supervised.
