ABSTRACT
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is
characterized by a profound and
disabling fatigue, accompanied
by several other symptoms,
resulting in a significant
functional impairment with
a reduction in occupational,
personal, social and educational
status. There are a constellation
of pathophysiological
abnormalities, suggesting that
the syndrome is a heterogeneous
condition with a complex and
multifactorial etiology. Although
there is a significant comorbidity
with psychiatric disorders,
CFS should be considered an
independent entity, however the
patient perception and coping
skills can perpetuate the illness.
Treatment is symptom based
with pharmacological and
behavioural interventions.
Cognitive behavioural
techniques and graded exercise
con be effective. The assessment
and treatment of the CFS
should be multi dimensional
and tailored to the needs of the
individual patient.
