Actual voices of people with ME are silenced because they criticize a woman that claims to be the voice of people with ME in a talk called "Disrupting Your View Of ME". o_O

I once read a text (sorry I can't remember where, no source...) by someone who had had recurring depressive episode all his life. He said psychoanalysis had been of no use, quite the contrary in fact, because the therapy kept bringing him back to sad memories that made him more depressed. He...

Yes, I immediately thought about Jon Stone. When someone with a "functional disorder" is later found to have an "organic disease", he said that it isn't a misdiagnosis, but that there is a strong link between functional and organic health problems, and that often functional symptoms precede...

Article about Freud's profound dishonesty and the total lack of scientificity of his work. Nothing really new, but these quotes about his work on hysteria are nonetheless interesting to read. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/freud-was-a-fraud-a-triumph-of-pseudoscience/ Edit: Freud's...

I suppose different tests need a different amount of blood to be run (not sure anyway). What volume of blood is collected from a donor? On average, how many tests can be done with one donor?

I have no doubts that some patients are "difficult", but the answer offered by Clare Gerada is so... hum, don't even know how to qualify it. But sure, coming from her, it is not surprising, and quite telling...
