Neurasthenia still exsists as one of the WHO codes, both in the American and in the German version. http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2016/en#/F48.0 A psychiatrist who wants to see depression, will diagnose depression. It's almost impossible to prove absence of depression. Same...

Still being crashed, just dropping by because the name "Hausotter" alerted me. Found him mentioned as a medical expert witness in a legal case about disability pension (his opinion , along with other "expert" opinions, in favor of the insurance company was invalidated). All three medical...

"The Six Habits of Highly Respectful Physicians" by Michael W. Kahn New York Times, DEC. 1, 2008 Not "News", yet still deserves attention IMO.The author is one of the few psychiatrists who signed Vincent Racaniello's / David Tuller's Open letter to the Lancet*...

I did some homework and added the URLs to the articles as well as some abstracts. I have to admit that I haven't read one of these papers. Why I think they could be relevant for ME, I tried to outline here...

Does anyone know of another comparable NICE guideline in which studies without objective measures were excluded? Furthermore, If anyone could explain the differences/ comparabilities between "level of quality", "validity score"/ "importance" and "evidence", this would be highly appreciated...

The paragraph about the related guidelines also caught my eye. Managed to check only the one for IBS yet, which stresses @Ravn 's concern: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg61/chapter/1-Recommendations#dietary-and-lifestyle-advice

Forbes is a business magazine. I mean...it might be about business...

Couldn't find an answer in this thread. In case you asked about the piece in the opening post: Rutherford, Jonathan (Summer 2007). "New labour, the market state, and the end of welfare". Soundings, issue: Politics and markets. Lawrence & Wishart. 36: 40–55. [says Wikipedia]

Does anybody have access to the paper? [Edit 2018/07/06: full text now available: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09638288.2018.1481149?scroll=top&needAccess=true] I find the abstract very promising. I am a bit worried about this, though: Yes, I too reject the BPS model, but...

Will there be a sequel with the next generation (starring Esther Crawley)?

Another adjustable rhetoric of the BPS narrative of ME/CFS "Before I / PACE entered the stage, there was nothing". "I" says Sir Wessely, when presenting himself as the good guy - meaning the late 80s when he began his "CFS"-carreer. "PACE" says Prof. Sharpe - ignoring that they both had entered...
