Chronic fatigue syndrome is a debilitating disorder in which a persistent state of tiredness (not related to exertion) is experienced and cannot be relieved by resting. Diagnostic criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome were developed by the CDC in 1994 but the cause of the disorder is still unknown. For this reason, it is very difficult to treat. Chronic fatigue patients are often forced to visit multiple medical specialists before a diagnosis can be made.
Studies completed by the CDC show that between one and four million Americans suffer from chronic fatigue. At least a quarter of these individuals are unemployed because or on disability because of the disease.
