That's 30 seconds of my life I won't get back!

 

There may well be a reason for that

 

?????????????????????

what is it, hell or kindergarden?

 

From the article:

"Despite increased research efforts and advanced investigative modalities, CFS remains a poorly understood condition with no absolute or palliative cure in sight with many patients continuing the treatment for a long time."

It appears often the case that BPS researchers report great biomedical effort and funds have been put into ME without result. The opposite is actually the case. Pathetically little funds and government effort have been expended on this prevalent, very debilitating physical disease. Those not in the know about the 50 year dearth of research funding may assume that ME is indeed a psychological illness, as they assume all efforts have been made to find a physical cause. Whereas in actual fact, very little effort has been made to find the physical cause or causes of ME.
If one compares government funds allotted to this disease to what others of lesser impact receive, the picture of neglect starts to emerge.

 

Particularly this part:

Which almost never happens precisely because of the false psych narrative. It's literally advised not to try to diagnose as part of the model. Do these people ever hear themselves talk? They just like the sound of their voice and aren't bothered about saying nonsense?

 

Ah yes well when you reject things you don't like you get to claim anything you want as an alternative.

 

This case report is all over the damn place. What a complete mess the psychiatrist did with this disease. They just broke everything.

 

The third and last sentences are bad too...

 

It's such a vicious cycle of abuse and marginalisation.

Illness gets no funding --->> LOL your illness has no identifiable physical cause ---->> illness gets even less funding and becomes even more of a career suicide for researchers to enter the field and so on.
