I'm not convinced. The human brain is an organ like any other- evolution had vested interest in keeping its function adaptive, and to this extent even social stress induced depression and vulnerability are adaptive responses. Most severe chronic illness - mental or otherwise - isn't.
- lindsaywaterman 3y agoThanks for your response - I see cfs as the result of almost “wear and tear” on the system. I think the “push-through” approach to life that many cfsers had prior to developing the disorder is very adaptive. I often meet v cfsers who had been v high functioning in their careers. It’s just that the adaptive response is not sustainable long term for some people…thanks for listening and cheers!
