Excellent piece. I am a carer to a person with severe m.e. So much we relate to. We have experienced the gaslighting and patient blaming the psychologisation of what is clearly a biological illness and the lack of treatment options other than breathing techniques, mindfulness and suggestion to push through debilitating symptoms with anti depressants. Indeed from my reading around the experiences of those with severe m.e. and those who care for them as well as our own experiences, it seems that the only possible explanation in the minds of many in the health service for a patient this ill must be an undiagnosed mental illness.
