Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a complex and debilitating condition characterized by persistent fatigue, cognitive impairments, and various physical symptoms. While the exact etiology of CFS remains elusive, emerging evidence suggests that stress-related factors may play a significant role in the development and progression of the disorder.
This thesis aims to explore the clinical epidemiology of stress-related disorders in the context of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. By examining the interplay between stress, psychological factors, and the manifestation of CFS symptoms, this study seeks to shed light on the underlying mechanisms that contribute to the pathophysiology and clinical course of the condition.
Through an in-depth analysis of epidemiological data, clinical studies, and relevant literature, this research aims to identify patterns, risk factors, and potential causal relationships between stress-related disorders and the onset, severity, and prognosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Ultimately, the findings from this thesis will contribute to a better understanding of the complex interplay between stress, psychological factors, and the clinical manifestations of CFS, with the potential to inform the development of more effective interventions and treatment strategies for individuals affected by this debilitating condition.
