Overcoming Chronic Fatigue in Young People provides an effective
evidence-based, step-by-step guide to managing and overcoming chronic
fatigue. The highly-experienced experts Katharine Rimes and Trudie
Chalder, present an accessible and practical manual aimed at young
people, with downloadable material (available online) to support
recovery. The book also includes a guide for parents and a helpful
resources section. It is recommended for any young person struggling
with chronic fatigue, as well as parents and professionals.
Currently, there is no other evidence-based self-help guide available on
chronic fatigue aimed at young people. This innovative book contains
detailed advice for tailoring a fatigue recovery programme to the
individual and shows the health professional how to do this. Topics
covered include: Sleep, exercise, coping with stress and school. Based
on cognitive behaviour therapy, a treatment approach supported by
research evidence, Katherine Rimes and Trudie Chalder have used this
guide in specialist CFS / ME service for many years with positive
results as reported by both patients and parents.
Overcoming Chronic Fatigue in Young People is aimed at young people with
CFS / ME but people with chronic fatigue caused by other conditions will
also find it invaluable. It is an essential resource for parents,
families and health care professionals in the treatment of their
clients.
