情志因素与慢性疲劳综合征相关性探讨

Relationship Discussion between Emotional Factors and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

慢性疲劳综合征是现代快节奏生活方式下出现的一组以长期虚弱性疲劳(包括体力疲劳和脑力疲劳)为突出表现的全身症候群。慢性疲劳综合征的病因与病机尚未阐明,就目前的研究来看其发病可能是多种因素共同作用的结果,情志因素对慢性疲劳综合征的产生虽起不到决定性作用,但却有重要的影响。大多数患者的发病与病程中的表现都与情志因素关系密切,情志因素很可能是导致慢性疲劳综合征发病与诱发的危险因素之一,因此预防与降低情志因素对慢性疲劳综合征患者的影响具有重要的意义。

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a new onset（not lifelong）of unexplained,persistent fatigue unrelated to exertion and not substantially relieved by rest,that causes a significant reduction in previous activity levels.The causes and mechanisms of CFS remain unknown.While a single cause for CFS may yet be identified,another possibility is that CFS represents a common endpoint of disease resulting from multiple precipitating causes.Emotional factors are not likely to be a primary cause of CFS but an important one.They may play a role in increasing susceptibility to onset or perpetuation of the disorder.Emotional factors are strongly associated with chronic fatigue in most patients.In many cases,CFS promotes psychological and social dysfunction.Emotional stressors are risk or triggering factors of CFS.So it＇s important for patients with CFS to develop effective coping strategies to deal with emotional stressors.
