Notes
Emerging in its current formulation in 1984 with “chronic Epstein–Barr syndrome,” the condition known chronic fatigue syndrome was established via a case definition in 1988, but many argue finds an antecedent in neurasthenia, which emerged in the late nineteenth century, industrializing United States, coined by physician George Miller Beard.
