Myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome, affects 2.5 million Americans at an economic cost of $17–24 billion annually. NIH funding: approximately $15 million — less than hay fever research receives. Recent studies show 75% of patients have measurable mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic immune activation, and neuroinflammation. Many physicians still treat it with antidepressants. Average diagnosis time is 5–7 years.
