One reason that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) has had so much difficulty gaining acceptance as a real illness is that doctors have traditionally been prone to dismiss the symptoms and label it "all in your head." As more and more research has developed, professionals are now accepting CFS as a real condition.
CFS affects over a million people, most of them women. Although, doctors admit that men tend to seek treatment less for the condition less than women. CFS affects all ages and race groups.
CFS is often times misunderstood by by the public and even many doctors. If they give the condition any credibility at all, it's generally to diagnose it as another condition. CFS in teens and children is a rare occurance and these groups report that they have the most difficulty in gaining understanding from their doctors, peers and parents.
This is because CFS has no known cause. It is believed to be either a psychological condition or physiological. This article will explore the psychological aspect.
It is difficult to make an accurate diagnosis of CFS because the symptoms are the same as those for several other illnesses like depression, schizophrenia, neurasthenia, bi-polar disorder and drug and alcohol abuse.
Traditional treatments include: anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medicine, cognitive behavior therapy and light exercise. Over strenuous exercise, however, is a common trigger for CFS.
One thing many CFS sufferers have agreed on is that it's extremely helpful to have a support group to talk (or chat online) to others suffering the same condition. This can help because the most current treatment options are discussed in addition to understanding and acceptance from others about your condition.
Another beneficial treatment with promising results is deep breathing and relaxation therapy.
