{{stub}} '''Anxiety''' is a general term for several disorders that cause nervousness, fear, apprehension, worrying and unease. A sudden surge of overwhelming anxiety and fear is called a [[panic attack]]. Anxiety symptoms occur with [[ME/CFS]], but their origin tends to be from physiologic problems with the [[autonomic nervous system]], [[sensory integration]], blood flow or blood volume as oppose to emotional or psychiatric factors.<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.healthrising.org/blog/2016/12/10/anxiety-question-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-fibromyalgia-autonomic-nervous-system-blame/ | title = The Anxiety Question in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia: Is the Autonomic Nervous System to Blame? | last = Johnson | first = Cort | author-link = Cort Johnson | date = 2016-12-10 | website = [[Health Rising]]|language=en-GB|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status= | access-date = 2019-02-18}}</ref> In Dr. [[David Bell]]'s words: "It is true that many persons with [[Chronic fatigue syndrome|CFS]] experience anxiety. But because CFS patients tend not to have obvious, diagnosable psychiatric illnesses, I suspect that when panic occurs in [[Chronic fatigue syndrome|CFS]] patients, the cause is physiological, not psychiatric. Whatever else this disease does to the human brain, it includes agitation in its repertoire."<ref name="Faces of CFS, 2000" /> Some anxiety symptoms in those living with [[ME/CFS]] may stem from other factors often encountered by patients, such as feeling β[[delegitimized]]β by the medical community,<ref name="Daniels, 2017" /> poor prognosis, and loss of income, livelihood, and relationships. ==Presentation== ==Prevalence== *[[Katrina Berne]] reports a prevalence of 70-90% for anxiety.<ref>{{Cite book | last = Berne | first = Katrina | author-link = Katrina Berne | date = Dec 1, 1995 | title = Running on Empty: The Complete Guide to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFIDS)|edition= 2nd |url= https://www.amazon.co.uk/Running-Empty-Complete-Chronic-Syndrome/dp/0897931912/ | publisher = Hunter House | page = 60 | isbn= 978-0897931915}}</ref> ==Symptom recognition== Anxiety is a potential symptom of [[Long COVID]] in the [[World Health Organization Long COVID diagnostic criteria|World Health Organization]]'s definition.<ref name="WHO-longcovid-criteria">{{citation | title = A clinical case definition of post COVID-19 condition by a Delphi consensus | date =Oct 6, 2021 | publisher = [[World Health Organization]] | others = World Health Organization (WHO) clinical case definition working group on post COVID-19 condition | first1 = Joan B. | last1 = Soriano | first2 = Maya | last2 = Allan | first3 = Carine | last3 = Alsokhn | first4 = Nisreen A. | last4 = Alwan | author-link4 = Nisreen Alwan | first5 = Lisa | last5 = Askie | first6 = Hannah E. | last6 = Davis | author-link6 = Hannah Davis | first7 = Janet V. | last7 = Diaz | first8 = Tarun | last8 = Dua | first9 = Wouter | last9 = de Groote | first10 = Robert | last10 = Jakob | first11 = Marta | last11 = Lado | first12 = John | last12 = Marshall | first13 = Srin | last13 = Murthy | first14 = Jacobus | last14 = Preller | first15 = Pryanka | last15 = Relan | first16 = Nicoline | last16 = Schiess | first17 = Archana | last17 = Seahwag | ref = WHO reference number: WHO/2019-nCoV/Post_COVID-19_condition/Clinical_case_definition/2021.1 | url = https://www.who.int/publications-detail-redirect/WHO-2019-nCoV-Post_COVID-19_condition-Clinical_case_definition-2021.1}}</ref> ==Notable studies== *Anxiety and depression in chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME): Examining the incidence of health anxiety in CFS/ME<ref name="Daniels, 2017" /> [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28244209 (Abstract)] ==Possible causes== ==Potential treatments== ==Learn more== ==See also== *[[Panic attack]] ==References== <references> <ref name="Daniels, 2017">{{Citation | last = Daniels | first1 = J | author-link1 = | last2 = Brigden | first2 = A | author-link2 = | last3 = Kacorova | first3 = A | author-link3 = | title = Anxiety and depression in chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME): Examining the incidence of health anxiety in CFS/ME | journal = Psychol Psychother | volume = 90 | issue = 3 | pages = 502-509 | date = 2017 | pmid = | doi = 10.1111/papt.12118 }}</ref> <ref name="Faces of CFS, 2000">{{cite book | first = David | last = Bell | title = Faces of CFS: case studies of chronic fatigue syndrome, | type = print | date = Aug 30, 2000 | isbn = 978-0970770202 }}</ref> </references>{ [[Category:Signs and symptoms]] [[Category:Psychological signs and symptoms]] [[Category:Diagnoses]] [[Category:Potential comorbidities]] [[Category:Mental disorders]] [[Category:Long COVID signs and symptoms]]
