In ‘Primary Care Companion to the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry’, Vol. 10, #2, pp. 120-128 van begin 2008 verscheen het overzicht ‘A systematic review of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome’ van de hand van James P. Griffith, M.D., F.A.C.P. en Fahd A. Zarrouf, M.D. (‘Internal Medicine/Psychiatry Residency Program’, West Virginia University, USA).
Op zich niet bijster veel nieuws te vinden hier… Maar het stuk droeg als ondertitel ‘Don’t assume it’s depression’ (‘Veronderstel niet dat het om depressie gaat’) en bevat een tabel die de verschillen tussen CVS en depressie opsomt. Deze wil ik het publiek niet onthouden…
