A new way to diagnose syndromes of chronic fatigue and emotional burnout with the help of 3D testing
Abstract
The previously unknown diseases of chronic fatigue syndrome and professional or emotional burnout syndrome that appeared in many highly developed countries of the world have a lot of similar symptoms: complaints of overwork, weakness, emotional disturbances, depression, sleep disturbances, headache. As a result of various reasons, there is a spasm of cerebral vessels and a violation of blood circulation throughout the body. Tissues and organs are poorly supplied with blood, metabolism is greatly impaired, and the patient feels lethargic and gets tired quickly. After the overwork of the body, intellectual fatigue begins to set in – the patient becomes distracted, memory and concentration deteriorate. Therefore, the term «myalgic encephalomyelitis» has become synonymous with the syndrome, which means an inflammatory process in the brain, which is manifested, among other things, by muscle pain. According to the «depressive» theory, CFS is simply a variant of this mental disorder. With chronic fatigue syndrome, the nervous system and the general muscle tone of the body are primarily affected. The most common chronic fatigue syndrome among adults, the peak incidence occurs at the active age of 40-59, but adolescents also get sick. Approximately 80% of all cases remain undiagnosed. A thorough clinical examination often fails to reveal any objective abnormalities. We propose to diagnose and objectify these conditions, in addition to special tests, to use in practice standard psychodiagnostic tests, combined in three areas of research – 3D testing. This allows you to optimize the diagnosis, treatment tactics and assessment of the dynamics of diseases. 1 direction – self-assessment of physical, behavioral, social symptoms; 2 direction – standard tests to identify problems in the cognitive-mnestic sphere; 3 direction – assessment of emotional sphere using standard tests-feeling of loneliness, anxiety. It is important to provide an opportunity to study the dynamics of the state through further research using more sensitive tests.
