“ME/CFS has been classified as a neurological disease by the WHO since 1969 [59] and a growing number of researchers theorize that ME/CFS might be a neuro-immunological condition [60–63]: yet the BPS framework does not account for ME/CFS as a neurological or immunological disease – instead, much of the pro- BPS model literature on ME/CFS adopts what Nassir Ghaemi terms the ‘eclectic approach’; whereby everything appears important, all bio, all psycho, and all social factors [33]. Yet in clinical practice (the BPS framework), there is strong emphasis on psychological interventions (CBT and GET).” InjusticeBiasChronic Fatigue SyndromeMyalgic EncephalomyelitisMe CfsCognitive Behavior TherapyPsychologisationBiopsychosocial Author:Keith Geraghty
“The new name 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome' is far too benign. It trivialises. How seriously would you take something called 'Chronic Thirst Syndrome'? And yet, diabetes is a very serious condition. 'Disabling Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome' does a bit better; while more research should allow something more specific.
