I don't understand why not. It can cover both and include advice on PEM for those that have it. If no specific treatments are to be recommended...
No, counselling is not psychotherapy. It is providing moral support and practical advice. There is no reason to think it requires a clinical...
Why should patients with ME be able to access psychotherapy on the NHS if we have no evidence that it is beneficial for such people - period? And...
From what I can see in the literature you are probably right. Incidence at a given age seems to be the same for men and women overall, although...
I am not actually disputing that. The point I was making relates to her research. That may do harm to children recruited into studies but I am...
That I can believe.

I for one would be very happy to believe that multidisciplinary team clinics were beginning to provide sensible and sympathetic advice and care....

I read this as the editor, probably with input from editorial board (which includes Esther Crawley), seeing this as a convenient face-saving way...
