Myalgic Encephalitis (ME)

Also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), it can affect children and adolescents, causing severe fatigue, cognitive difficulties, and other symptoms. ME/CFS in young people can significantly impact their education, social life, and overall wellbeing. Proper diagnosis and management, including pacing activities and addressing comorbid mental health issues, are crucial for improving quality of life.
