Might not be the best example, as narcolepsy is usually treated with stimulants and antidepressants, so adding say ritalin may still improve symptoms regardless of if it's actual ADD/ADHD or narcolepsy

In this case psychiatry covers up the symptoms with stimulants (that further degrade sleep) while neurology can effectively fix the bad sleep. Psychiatry provides a poorly fitting bandage while neurology has something on par with a cure. There's no better example that I'm aware of.
