"Why would we use a decent control group with patients suffering from a known disease with comparable symptoms and take the risk to demonstrate that our concept is BS?"
I find it very worrying. The mere fact that they encourage diagnosing a somatic syndrome when there is no organic cause (and nothing else) is opening the door for psychologising patients.
In this annex, they say that it is diagnosable in the absence of obvious organic cause, that it is not...
The official guidelines for post-covid syndrome have been posted by the Haute Autorité de la Santé.
When there are symptoms without clear organic explanation, doctors should diagnose the patient as having a "functional disorder", caused by personality or trauma.
