    United Kingdom: ME Association news

    From the ME Association report of the meeting: Invoking the biopsychosocial principle or model does not automatically validate any specific diagnostic, causal, or therapeutic claim made in its name.

    School-based mindfulness training in early adolescence: what works, for whom and how in the MYRIAD trial?, 2022, Montero-Marin et al

    'worry' And that is how you spin normal, healthy, ongoing and necessary integration of the past, present, and future, into simplistic pathology. The past matters, the present matters, the future matters, concurrently, all the time.

    Fear conditioning as a pathogenic mechanism in the postural tachycardia syndrome, Norcliffe-Kaufmann et al, 2022
