The Cognitive Behavioral Treatment of Depression and Low Self‐Esteem in the Context of Pediatric Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME): A Case Study
ConclusionTherapy was effective in remediating the young person's mood difficulties, but appeared to exacerbate their CFS/ME symptoms. Therefore, it is crucial that CFS/ME and mood treatments are designed and trialed to ensure a complementary approach. Good communication and joint working between involved professionals is also important, and ideally, treatments for mood and for CFS/ME would be provided by the same team to facilitate this.
