Spelling Out What Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Is

 
Tags: , , ,


Chronic fatigue syndrome is perhaps one of the most commonly misunderstood illnesses. Being a predominantly misunderstood illness that it is, myths abound about chronic fatigue syndrome as well. Among all the myths, one which remains prevalent is that chronic fatigue syndrome is synonymous with depression. But such a myth about the syndrome is clearly that- a myth.

Chronic fatigue syndrome is not the same as depression. In fact, many may have the notion that chronic fatigue syndrome is a mental illness. It involves quite a contentious debate, but the syndrome is not a mental illness at all. A considerable number of people and experts would disagree, but the UK government has established in 2001 that chronic fatigue syndrome is a bio-physical condition.

As much misunderstanding has risen about chronic fatigue, it causes major discrepancies on its diagnosis and treatment. It is extremely important that a clear distinction is made between chronic fatigue syndrome and depression. The two conditions are entirely different, especially pertaining to their nature. Authorities have determined that chronic fatigue is a bio-physical illness while depression is undoubtedly a mental health concern.

Depression can in fact be one of the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome. This does not hold true for all chronic fatigue sufferers, though. There are those beset with the condition but do not exhibit depression symptoms. Studies have indicated that those with chronic fatigue syndrome have “deep sleep” brain wave abnormalities.





This abnormality is not manifested by those suffering from depression. In the same manner, those with depression constantly feel fatigued. As for chronic fatigue sufferers, they only feel exhausted after mental and physical exertion. In addition, there are chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms not exhibited in depression. Some of them are headaches, flu-like symptoms, painful joints and muscles and sleeping pattern reversals.

The same can be said with restless leg syndrome and increased tendencies of having colds and viruses. Chronic fatigue syndrome sufferers should “pull themselves together”. This is one of the most erroneous notions about chronic fatigue. Recovering from the condition is apparently easier said than done. Curing chronic fatigue syndrome is much more complex than what the majority thinks.

In fact, no cure has been discovered yet for the condition. Chronic fatigue syndrome has long been inaccurately labeled as a mental illness. The chronic fatigue syndrome community has ardently fought to rectify such mistaken knowledge. And as the condition has been established to be bio-physical in nature, depression in relation to it has been overlooked.

But depression as a chronic fatigue symptom can be very real to some. As much as it is merely insubordinated to the true condition, nevertheless, depression is a real nemesis to contend with. In the same manner as with any other conditions, dealing with depression is essential for a full recovery.

This holds true for depression as a symptom of chronic fatigue syndrome. Depression in itself can be a mentally and emotionally excruciating condition. What more if it goes with all the other manifestations of chronic fatigue syndrome. A step by step healing process is essential for dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome.

This entails the patient to be mindful of each and every of its symptoms, mental or otherwise.
