Exactly right. Here is one of the patient quotes where the authors interpret as a desire to 'leave the sick-role'
:emoji_face_palm: The article continues the usual confusion of the people in the pro-CBT bubble between PEM and the hypothetical "boom-bust"...
These authors have about as much insight as a brick wall. Did it not occur to them that perhaps the pathology is not in the small number of places...
