Eccentric medium spiny neuron (eMSN)

Perhasp the key difference is that the psychs in question called their departments psychological medicine, with a great flurry of trumpets and insisted that ME/CFS was perpetuated psychologically. Which means psychodynamically which just means bullshit.

There is no shame in having a neuropsychiatric aspect to a disease. It just means that it affects thinking - which ME/CFS does. The psychs were wrong. They denied there was a neuropsychiatric problem - which for them came under "bio".

I am very sorry for (and deeply sympathize with) the suffering you've experienced in having your depression dismissed as being "just" depression. Depression destroys lives and, in its clinical form, is absolutely an "organic illness," one that can be profoundly disabling.

Thank you. Yeah I didn't mean to disparage the seriousness of depression. I have really struggled with it over the years. I think it's fairly likely I have both organic depression and MECFS but since my prodromal onset came at a time when I was profoundly situationally depressed and I was immediately put in the 'depression and anxiety' diagnostic wastebin, it's hard to say. I certainly have situational depression!

I'm drafting an in depth post about my prodromal onset currently as I think it could be an interesting jumping off point for discussion of the issue more widely.
 
if it’s the same as depression, why don't antidepressants cure it or the sufferers feel depressed?I agreed to start Sertraline and in under a year, I’d declined.
We have the ammunition to fight this BPS stuff already.
