CFS is a manifestation of depression. Various studies show a difference between the two modes. For example, it was discovered that the adrenal gland increased in people with depression, and secretes more bleeding than among healthy cortisol. In contrast, in patients with CFS rather small gland produces less than normal and cortisol.
Seems to be part of the hospital to give groups, according to the age at which the disease broke out, duration of disease and how the outbreak (often disease suddenly breaks out following a viral disease, but other times she breaks out in a gradual and not related to becoming ill with a virus).
CFS involves no body systems: the brain, immune system Hnoiroandokrinit and autonomic nervous system. New findings were discovered recently by a collaboration of doctors from all these disciplines, as well as engineers, computer specialists and mathematicians.
CFS diagnostic criteria were established in 1988, but were updated in 1994. Even today there is no complete agreement about diagnostic criteria and some researchers use different criteria, making it difficult for professionals to draw conclusions and further research.
There are not many studies on the CFS - seems that researchers refrain from investigating the disease because of considerations of professional prestige and because there is not enough research funds finance such studies. Conception of the CFS as a disease also contributes to female minority research: the NIH associate it into "healthy women" are not necessarily relevant, or to draw the appropriate researchers and its budget is not enough research on CFS as well.
The term "yuppie disease" coined in the eighties proved a misfit: the most common disease aged 40-60, among the uneducated and those with low incomes - medium.
Even children in CFS patients, but at a lower rate than adults. Point of light - in children and adolescents was full recovery at higher rates than in adults.
Damage the U.S. economy due to loss of income of the ill CFS is estimated at - $ 20,000, ie $ 9.1 billion a year! More than any neurological or all diseases of the immune system! Not including spending on treatments ineffective and testing unnecessary. Therefore, economically equivalent to the state to invest in research to find an effective remedy and to teach doctors how to diagnose the disease quickly and treat it effectively.
CFS significantly limits the performance of those suffering from it. Studies indicate that impairment is not less than multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, kidney failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and similar chronic conditions.
CFS affects each patient is individual. Some patients will remain confined to their homes, while the other's condition will improve enough to return to function reasonably. 27% -77% of patients experience a loss of earning capacity. Even those who manage to keep the workplace suffer from a decline in income, difficulties in performing their work and manage key social and family life.
The low awareness of this syndrome affects the quality of patient care: A study conducted among family doctors in Britain, found that only 56% of family doctors believe that this is a real illness. None of the doctors diagnosed the disorder in their patients, using the accepted criteria for diagnosis, and half did not know where to refer the patient for additional clarification (dedicated clinic or a specialist).
