He's wriggling out of giving an opinion on the potential embedding, via the back door, of DSM-5 disorder terms into the NHS:

I have today alerted a mailing list of UK and international clinical psychologists, academics, social workers and mental health advocates that I am member of, some of whom had been involved back in 2010-2013 in organising petitions, position statements, discussion platforms and commentaries...

In the run up to finalisation of the APA's new DSM-5 criteria sets and disorder description texts, I recall Prof Wessely commenting, somewhat disparagingly, on the new Somatic symptom disorder construct which has replaced most of DSM-IV's Somatoform disorders. He had also stated that DSM-5 was...

[Not an ME patient, myself] I've had exploding head syndrome for years. Not frequently, and most often on days that have been stressy or when I'm particularly tired. For me, it sounds like a loud gun shot inside my head, often followed by that sensation of falling through the bed or falling off...

This uncommissioned and unofficial "inquiry" and the Report that resulted out of it had no status at all in either the H of Commons or the H of Lords, or with any government agency. It was sent to various government agencies, none of whom issued any response. I know of no-one around at the time...

Having been around at the time, that was a very poorly conducted and unofficial "inquiry" - cobbled together by Ian Gibson via an ad hoc group chaired by himself after he had failed to obtain the "full" and "high level" and "official inquiry" he had promised in the media and to local group reps...
