New York State: Department of Health info page

Short blog on this from Jackson Labs

The New York State Department of Health recently established a new webpage about ME/CFS, which is current as of May 2018. Local advocates, including Mary Dimmock and Terri Wilder, worked to create a webpage that allows for a basic understanding of ME/CFS and which also corrects the common misconceptions about the disease. The page not only outlines the symptoms, diagnosis, and current treatment options for the disease, but it also says that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and graded exercise therapy (GET) are harmful to patients, explaining in bolded letters that ME/CFS “is not a psychiatric disorder and it is not caused by a lack of exercise, contrary to common belief.“
