Oh dear, that risks to recovery section is dreadful. All the patient blaming nonsense.

Queensland Health were responsible for one of the most offensive and poorly informed submissions to the Parliamentary Inquiry into Long Covid. It was in the same vein as this.

Queensland health are the worst on this in Australia (far as I know). Somebody with high level influence in that state government is a BPS fanatic.

They are not even original. Predisposing, precipitating, and perpetuating. Straight from the psych playbook on ME.

it's almost like they know saying 'caused by the mind' would make them less convincing - one of the first things most learn in proper professional life (or should) outside this area used to be that if you can't say it in straightforward words/does what it says on the tin, and people 'get it is useful' then you probably don't 'have something' and are just a blagger
