만성피로 증후군도 꼭옥 집고 넘어가야 겠네요 잘보고갑니다
I am experiencing chronic fatigue.
I'm so tired no matter how much I sleep, I think I have chronic fatigue.
You often say things like this, right??
But... the chronic fatigue mentioned in this statement is actually a real medical condition.
The correct medical term is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
It's not just chronic fatigue; it's classified as a syndrome.
My husband is exactly like this... I'm worried that I might experience burnout again because of this.
So, I looked into chronic fatigue syndrome.

Definition
Chronic fatigue syndrome refers to a condition characterized by unexplained fatigue that persists or recurs for more than six months without a specific underlying disease, significantly affecting daily life. Normal fatigue is relieved by rest. In contrast, chronic fatigue syndrome does not improve with rest, and symptoms of fatigue that worsen with mental and physical activity continue to occur, causing substantial disruption to daily activities. About 2-5% of patients complaining of chronic fatigue have chronic fatigue syndrome. The main causes of chronic fatigue syndrome are depression and excessive work-related stress.
- Symptoms
- The symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome can vary from person to person. The most common symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome are as follows.

1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a form of psychological treatment. Cognitive-behavioral factors are related to the worsening of symptoms. For this reason, cognitive-behavioral therapy is used to treat chronic fatigue syndrome. Important elements of treatment include explanations of the causes, motivation for treatment, recognition of fatigue-related situations, attempts to change fatigue-inducing situations, achievement and maintenance of basic physical activities, gradual increase of physical activity, attempts at work rehabilitation, and restoration of personal life. Patients learn how to respond to symptoms while achieving these elements.② Gradual aerobic exercise therapy
Gradual aerobic exercise therapy includes walking, cycling, and swimming. It is recommended to start under the guidance of a physical therapist. It is important to increase the exercise intensity very slowly and gradually. Sometimes, symptoms may worsen after starting exercise. In such cases, professional assistance should be sought. -
