    Yes, because all patients were in a situation where they faced threat of violence, collapsed as result, and then had CFS. Right? No, wait, that's never the story.

    Is it possible to be traumatized by psychobabble?

    Is there the beguinning of an evidence that this theory is true? A proposal for an experimental device to prove its relevance?
    No, but the author felt like he had a very clever idea and had to spread worldwide his incredible wit.

    Yeah, if...

    The senior author of the psycho-mito paper is a famous neuropsychiatry / neuroendocrinology researcher, Bruce McEwen. He is one of the fathers of modern psych theories of stress, and he coined the term "allostatic load".

    He is a very senior figure - he holds a named chair at Rockefeller Uni, has published 700+ papers, and received all manner of awards and honours.

    His status explains a paper like this being published.

    The paper's first author, Picard, is an early career researcher from Columbia Uni, who researches mitochondria.
