US Gesundheitsministerium zu CFS:

- CFS nicht psychisch: "5.CFSAC rejects proposals to classify CFS as a psychiatric condition in U.S. disease classification systems. CFS is a multi-system disease and should be retained in its current classification structure, which is within the “Signs and Symptoms” chapter of the International Classification of Diseases 9-Clinical Modification (ICD 9-CM).*
*DFO Note: The ICD 10-CM is scheduled for implementation on October 1, 2013. In that classification, two mutually exclusive codes exist for chronic fatigue:

•post-viral fatigue syndrome (in the nervous system chapter), and
•chronic fatigue syndrome, unspecified (in the signs and symptoms chapter).
HHS has no plans at this time to change this classification in the ICD 10-CM."
