Childhood Trauma May Be Risk Factor For Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Courtesy Medical News Today  Wed, 01/07/2009 - 02:00

Chronic fatigue syndrome is more likely to be developed in individuals who experience trauma in childhood, according to an article released on January 5, 2008 in the Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.

This may be in conjunction with a suggested biological pathway, involving neuroendocrine dysfunctions associated with the early trauma in chronic fatigue syndrome patients.
