Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), is a complex and debilitating disorder characterised by extreme fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest and worsens with physical or mental activity. The precise cause of CFS is unknown, but it is believed to result from a combination of factors.
Chronic fatigue can have numerous side effects, including severe exhaustion, muscle and joint pain, sleep disturbances, and cognitive impairments such as difficulty concentrating and memory problems. Behavioural changes such as social withdrawal, irritability, and depression are also common. These symptoms can significantly disrupt daily life and overall well-being.
Several contributing factors to chronic fatigue have been identified, including viral infections, immune system problems, hormonal imbalances, and psychological stress. Genetic predisposition and environmental factors may also play a role in the development of CFS.
Globally, chronic fatigue affects millions of people, with estimates suggesting that around 17 to 24 million individuals are affected worldwide. In Australia, approximately 0.2% to 0.4% of the population is believed to have CFS, while in the United States, around 2.5 million people are affected. The condition is often underdiagnosed and misunderstood, making effective treatment crucial.
The main ways people develop chronic fatigue include viral infections such as Epstein-Barr virus, bacterial infections, and extreme physical or emotional stress. These triggers can lead to a prolonged state of exhaustion and other associated symptoms.
