The disease Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), which has become more recognized especially after the outbreak of the coronavirus, is considered a serious threat to the family and social life of individuals. This illness, with symptoms such as extreme fatigue, chronic pain, and cognitive issues, drives families towards losing themselves in the mundane and challenges the lives of many.
Changing Daily Life
This illness affects not only the individual but also the family members. Many families experience isolation and a lack of social support due to the community's incomplete understanding of this disease. This situation causes family members to gradually distance themselves from one another, ultimately affecting their emotional and social relationships.
While more research is underway, it seems that this disease is becoming a serious social dilemma. The necessity for awareness and education about ME/CFS is particularly important during health crises. Thus, only by better understanding this disease can we help improve the situation of families and support them.
