Main stream medicine do use antidepressants to help rebalance the hpa axis but i dont know if psychobabble or not like the chemical imbalance theory they use to use for depression etc.
There are some forums that look onto hpa axis dysfunction/adrenal fatigue and use hormones and drugs to improve neurotransmitters. Its common to hear them say ssri's help calm down an over stimulated noradrenaline system as it turns down the this system down.
I think some say the same about cortisol and that good levels of cortisol can keep noradrenaline down to normal levels which is generally high in stressed people.
This seems to be the common theory of getting dhea and cortisol levels in an optimal range then try to adjust neurotransmitters. .then getting the right hrt for women and trt for men.
I think for many cfsers, controlling our cause of stress is the key which is usually immune/infection related. Easier said then done.
