Sindrom khronicheskoy ustalosti: sovremennye predstavleniya ob etiologii

Abstract

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease of unexplained feeling of profound fatigue lasting for more than 6 months. This fatigue is not relieved even after prolonged rest and is exacerbated after physical or mental work. More than 3000 scientific studies had proved that chronic fatigue syndrome is not a form of depression or hypochondria. It is a real somatic illness that results in professional, social and individual desadaptation. This article summarizes the contemporary etiological conceptions of this condition.
