Highlights
The syndrome characterized primarily by chronic, disabling fatigue without adequate explanation has been of interest to patients, clinicians and researchers.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a widely used term for this condition in scientific and lay literature but is not acceptable to many patients because of perceived stigma due to implied psychological causation.
CFS has recently been replaced by systemic exercise intolerance disease (SEID) by the Institute of medicine with the objectives of providing and disseminating evidence-based criteria and to provide a more acceptable name for this condition.
Simultaneously, changes have taken place in DSM-5 with regards to this condition.
Mental health professionals need to be aware of this change in the interests of patient care.
The need to replace CFS with SEID and the nosological changes also indicate an inability to do away with the Descartian mind-body dualism despite efforts to the contrary and a need to debate the failure of the bio-psycho-social model to ‘mainstream’ and destigmatize psychiatry.
Keywords: Chronic fatigue syndrome, Psychiatry, Systemic exercise intolerance disease, Nosology, Mind-body dualism, Bio-psycho-social model
