This study investigated the relative rates of personality disturbance in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Individuals who met the CDC criteria for CFS were compared to two other fatiguing illness groups, mild multiple sclerosis and depression, as well as sedentary healthy controls. Subjects were administered a structured psychiatric interview to determine Axis I psychiatric disorders and two self-report instruments to assess Axis II personality disorders and the personality trait of neuroticism. The depressed group had significantly more personality disorders and elevated neuroticism scores compared with the other three groups. The CFS and MS subjects had intermediary personality scores which were significantly higher than healthy controls. The CFS group with concurrent depressive disorder (34% of the CFS group) was found to account for most of the personality pathology in the CFS sample. The results are discussed in the context of the relationship between personality variables and fatiguing illness.
本研究调查了慢性疲劳综合征（CFS）中人格障碍的相对发生率。将符合美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）CFS标准的个体与另外两组疲劳性疾病患者（轻度多发性硬化症和抑郁症患者）以及久坐不动的健康对照组进行比较。对受试者进行结构化精神科访谈以确定轴I精神障碍，并使用两份自我报告工具评估轴II人格障碍和神经质人格特质。与其他三组相比，抑郁症组的人格障碍明显更多，神经质得分更高。CFS和MS受试者的人格得分处于中间水平，显著高于健康对照组。发现同时患有抑郁症的CFS组（占CFS组的34%）占CFS样本中大部分人格病理学情况。本文在人格变量与疲劳性疾病之间的关系背景下对研究结果进行了讨论。
