“…The argument that depression could play a huge role in cognitive impairments among patients with CFS is understandable since previous research estimates that up to 80% of CFS patients may concurrently have depression (Ax et al, 2001; Taillefer et al, 2002, 2003). However, DeLuca and colleagues (1997) found cognitive impairments in patients with CFS could not be explained by the presence of a depressive disorder.…”

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized by fatigue, sleep dysfunction, and cognitive deficits (Fukuda et al., 1994). Research surrounding cognitive functioning among patients with CFS has found difficulty with memory, attention, and information processing. A similar disorder, postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), is characterized by increased heart rate, fatigue, and mental cloudiness (Raj et al., 2009). Potential implications of cognitive deficits for patients with CFS and/or POTS are discussed, including difficulties with school and/or employment. A few biological theories (i.e., kindling, impairments in the central nervous system, and difficulty with blood flow) have emerged as potential explanations for the cognitive deficits reported in both CFS and POTS Future research should continue to examine possible explanations for cognitive impairments in CFS and POTS, and ultimately use this information to try and reduce cognitive impairments for these patients.

“…Several other studies have documented dysfunctional or maladaptive coping styles in CFS [12]. Our current study circumvented the various methodological problems associated with recruiting participants from primary or tertiary care, which may increase the likelihood that our findings are generalizable to the entire population of persons with CFS, not just those who have obtained medical care.…”

“…Patients also experience a number of other symptoms like self-reported impairments in concentration and short-term memory, sleep disturbances, muscle pain, and headache (Fukuda et al, 1994). Studies show that the course and duration of the illness vary with some people improving over time, but for many, CFS is a chronic condition (Ax et al, 2001; Fukuda et al, 1994; Pinksterhuis et al, 2015). When symptoms cannot be attributed to any known disease, the most used treatment forms for people with CFS are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which attends to factors that may predispose and perpetuate symptoms and graded exercise therapy (GET) which is based on the concept of deconditioning (for a review, see Fernie et al, 2016).…”

The aim of the study was to find relevant coping factors for the development of psychological interventions for people with chronic fatigue syndrome who suffer from depressive symptoms. A total of 30 adults with chronic fatigue syndrome filled in the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, the COPE and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. The findings suggested that cognitive coping strategies have a stronger influence than behavioral coping strategies on depressive symptoms. Especially, the cognitive coping strategies refocusing positive, positive reappraisal and catastrophizing were of importance. These findings suggest that these coping strategies should be part of psychological programs for people with chronic fatigue syndrome.
