• Abstract

This study searched the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP Database, Chinese Biological Science Literature Database, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and Embase for chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) in children and adolescents at home and abroad.

CFS/ME associated with mood disorders or affective disorders, and analyzed them using the scope review method to identify the manifestations, intervention methods and influencing factors of the disease associated with mood disorders or affective disorders, and provide reference for medical staff to carry out related research.

The age of the research subjects included in this study are all within the school-appropriate age range, which can effectively avoid the extremely energetic situation of some children due to being too young, thereby ensuring that the research focuses on chronic fatigue syndrome that is unique to a specific age.

The related characteristics and effects of accompanying mood disorders will improve the pertinence and validity of the research results for the target age group and reduce the interfering variables caused by differences in age factors.

As a result, a total of 16 domestic and foreign literatures were included, reporting 5 mood disorders or manifestations of affective disorders, 3 intervention methods, 2 assessment tools, and influencing factors such as study pressure.

This shows that my country does not pay enough attention to CFS/ME in children and adolescents.

The disease is accompanied by mood disorders or affective disorders in various forms, with a wide range of influencing factors, and there are limitations such as lack of specificity in intervention methods.

Future research should identify more effective intervention strategies.

It is recommended that The community comprehensively assesses children’s mental health, and relevant departments formulate policies to enhance public awareness of the disease.

I misread that as “Nature Communications” and was baffled at how a study that doesn’t really bring anything and makes at best questionable claims would be included there.

 

It shows that it's a person in training doing a paper not because it's any use but to learn the ropes. Which is a terrible idea.

But aside from weaker than standard style, the content is just as hollow as what the 'pros' do. They may have mastered the art of presenting bullshit, but it's still all they produce.
