Chronic fatigue syndrome is characterized by persistent fatigue. The fatigue or tiredness goes on for 6 months or even longer, limiting a person’s ability to participate in normal everyday activities.

The cause of chronic fatigue syndrome is yet to be discovered but there are theories linking it to impairment of immune system and psychological stress, among others.

There is no specific test to diagnose CFS so you may need to undergo various exams in order for other possible health issues to be ruled out. Treatment is hence directed to the symptoms that the patient experiences.

In physiotherapy, we do rehab.

Another way of seeing rehab is promoting growth, development, renewal, and progressing along your life path. At every stage of life there are different things happening in your world and different feelings you may have. In your life you will have different experiences of your body, your health and your abilities. Everyone goes through challenging times. There are rocky roads that we sometimes go down. We may get stuck. We may get a flat tire. Yet, time and our life keeps progressing. There are always things that are changing.

Learn more about how physiotherapy is a part of rehab in our latest blog.

You may not think that nutrition is as important for your mental health as it is for your physical health, but it’s true! With the stigma around mental illness slowly dissipating, more and more people are opening up about their struggles with mental health. As someone who has experienced mental illness myself, the connection between nutrition and mental health has always fascinated me.

For example, many mental health conditions can cause unplanned weight change, low appetite, and low motivation to prepare food. Different psychiatric medications can also cause fluctuations in appetite and eating habits. Furthermore, food insecurity and mental illness often go hand-in-hand, so it is important for food insecure individuals to have access to affordable and healthy foods.

Some key nutrients to pay attention to for your mental health are shared in our blog. Click the link to read about them.
