Ummm. I'm sure you didn't mean to stir up a hornet's nest, but please don't refer to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as a psychiatric condition. There is a very substantial body of research from leading institutions showing that this is a neuroimmune condition, likely caused by a virus, and causing severe physical debilitation. It has nothing to do with psychiatry and is no more psychological than AIDS. I am only writing because it is so important that the misinformation about this illness be stopped. The condition has an unfortunate name which brings a lot of misunderstanding with it.
