Asthenic syndrome, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome, is a mental condition in which a person constantly feels tired and apathetic, has difficulty concentrating, has a slow reaction time, and has a reduced ability to work or study. This condition also causes sleep disturbances, increased sensitivity to light, loud noises, strong odors, frequent mood swings, and depression.
Changes concern the physical, intellectual, and emotional spheres. The patient experiences limited emotions and does not fully participate in interpersonal relationships.
Chronic fatigue syndrome has a significant impact on the life of the patient and those around him, so it is considered a severe mental and physical health disorder that requires comprehensive treatment.
