[Chronic fatigue syndrome: a psychoneuroimmunological perspective].
van Houdenhove, B, Heijnen, C J·Tijdschrift voor psychiatrie·2009
This review explores how stress, the immune system, and the brain interact in ME/CFS. The authors suggest that both physical and emotional stress may contribute to developing and maintaining the illness. While some research shows that people with ME/CFS have unusual stress responses and immune activity, the results haven't been fully consistent, indicating we still need more research to understand exactly what's happening.
