Yakov Bogatin: The syndrome of chronic weariness

One of the important steps in order to understand the illness is a comprehension of the fact that our body and brain as well as the psychological and physical reasons are inseparably linked. The psychological reasons is the key for the illness development, and reaction of associates and the person on a syndrome of chronic weariness often aggravate a situation. However, the role of psychological problems in illness occurrence still remains insufficiently studied. After all it is frequent that those people who are sick with a syndrome of chronic weariness can be also diagnosed with depression or other psychiatric infringements. Then there is a question: what is the reason, and what is a consequence?

Yakov Bogatin says that it is known that people suffering from chronic weariness have a lowered level of cortisol – a hormone developed in response to the stress is strongly. Stress can be as a virus, environment toxins and a psychological stress. As a result the body reacts in a particular way: under the action of hypothalamus during chemical reactions the signal to a bark of adrenal glands is given and the hormone cortisol which is responsible for energy savings in an organism is allocated. In case there is a lack of cortisol the condition is a braked one and weariness is noticed. It is interesting, that similar symptoms are observed and at such illnesses as hypothyroidism (decrease in activity of a thyroid gland) and Itsenko-Kushinga illness.

It is curious, that symptoms of a syndrome of chronic weariness remind a current of a virus disease. Scientists have found out, that faults of immune system often meet among those who suffers from chronic weariness. According to one of last researches, the syndrome of chronic weariness is caused by ordinary enterovirusis which get to a gastroenteric path and then hit the central nervous system.

Yakov Bogatin says that the chronic weariness hits those who is vigorous, efficient more often responsible and successful. According to one of the theories many such people do not look after themselves therefore their resistibility to infections and stresses which influence level of a stimulating serotonin hormone decreases.
