Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Depression: Separate or Linked Entities?

Today we will discuss Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and its relationship to Major Depressive Disorder.  We will explore how many CFS patients are told they have depression as the primary cause of the illness, and while this may be correct to a degree, in today’s broadcast we will discuss how they are separate but interrelated diseases.  Furthermore, this will best be understood by examining the underlying causes of each illness.
