CFS remains a controversial diagnosis. For years, the illness was considered a physical manifestation of depressive symptoms. There is no significant evidence in support of this theory and anti-depressants may help with the sleep disorders symptom of CFS but do not cure it. Most sufferers of CFS do not respond to anti-depressants and show no obvious signs of depression. Research at Johns Hopkins University and other institutes has shown that limited blood flow to the brain may play a role. Hyperactivity of the immune system, creating flu-like symptoms plays yet another role. A general re-educating of the public approach towards CFS as a genuine illness would be of great benefit, as there is a popular misconception that such illnesses are 'in the mind' only. The reality is that they are just as 'physical' as any other illness.
