Tired or weary?: Cvs Weighed and Measured

Tired or Fatigued? CVS Weighed and Measured introduces healthcare professionals, patients and anyone interested to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).

There is much controversy about CFS, both in the (scientific) literature and in the field. There is still no consensus among researchers and clinicians about the etiology and pathophysiology of CFS. Furthermore, there is discussion about the method of diagnosis, the way in which CFS should be treated and about the nomenclature.

This book is a unique work in which for the first time the different visions, dimensions, research, treatments and therapies are discussed. A selection of the topics: mechanisms of CFS, the role of primary care, CFS as a stress-related disorder, CFS in children and adolescents, relaxation techniques, aspects of sleep, myths and misunderstandings, insurance and legal issues.
