It's *supposed* to be for narcolepsy.
However, many of the same drugs work in narcolepsy and depression (SSRIs, MAOIs, amphetamines). I don't know what the proposed mechanism of GHB is in narcolepsy or whether it treats the whole syndrome.
It's also been claimed to do all sorts of other things, not the least of which is get you high.
