Excluded from this disorder are: asthenia NOS (R53), burn-out (Z73.0), malaise and fatigue (R53), postviral fatigue syndrome (includes myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)) (G93.3) [23] and psychasthenia (F48.8). [4] One modern theory of neurasthenia is that it was actually dysautonomia, an "imbalance" of the autonomic ...
