"Some medical historians consider neurasthenia to be the diagnostic predecessor of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). The following commentary on neurasthenia is a section from
a book entitled, "A Handbook of Practical Treatment" edited by John H. Musser, M.D. and O. A. Kelly, M.D. which was published in 1912. The first sentence sets the tone for the whole discussion and provides a link to modern CFS research: "When we come to study the symptoms of neurasthenia, we find that they are essentially those of chronic fatigue."
Is this what they mean by 'evidence based'? - a 100 year history?
