What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

Fatigue and apathy after a long working day is a normal and natural phenomenon. To get back to work full of zap, a healthy person needs to have a good sleep or just to live up to the weekend to have one. But if even a good rest does not help you to restore energy, it's time to make an appointment with your doctor.

Why am I always tired?

The occurrence of the syndrome of chronic fatigue is usually associated with disorders in the central regulatory centers of the autonomic nervous system, caused by the inhibition of the activity of the zone, which is responsible for inhibitory processes. This unbalanced emotional and intellectual load provokes this disease to the detriment of physical activity.
