Research Notes on Major Depression and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Depression can be a symptom of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).1 CFS is a very misunderstood illness often misdiagnosed as major depression. Some with CFS do not have depression. Research has shown that those with CFS have an abnormality in sleep patterns where those with depression do not have this same abnormality.2
Fast Facts:
- Symptoms of CFS may include concentration or short-term memory problems, sore throat, tender lymph nodes, and muscle pain.3
- CFS has a very rapid onset, where depression is slow progressing.3
- The two conditions can have similar symptoms; only your health care provider can distinguish if it is CFS or depression.4
