What is Chronic Fatigue?
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a complex disorder characterized by extreme fatigue that cannot be explained by any underlying medical condition. The fatigue worsens with physical or mental activity but does not improve with rest.
How it Negatively Affects Your Life:
Chronic fatigue significantly impacts daily functioning, making it difficult to work, maintain social relationships, and perform everyday tasks. Individuals often experience persistent tiredness, muscle pain, headaches, and difficulty concentrating. The condition can lead to frustration, isolation, and depression due to the ongoing struggle with energy levels and the impact on quality of life.
How Treatment Helps:
Treatment for chronic fatigue involves a multidisciplinary approach, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help manage symptoms and develop coping strategies. Gradual physical rehabilitation and energy management techniques are used to improve stamina and reduce fatigue. Psychological support addresses emotional distress, enhancing overall well-being and helping individuals regain control over their lives.
