"The 2021 NICE guidelines for ME/CFS heralded a paradigm shift in the understanding & management of ME/CFS. It recognised ME/CFS as a complex multi-system disease, rather than a psychogenic disorder, & rejected cognitive behavioural therapy & graded exercise therapy as curative treatments"

"The result is a high-quality guideline that has changed the understanding of ME/CFS and its management. This guideline has been welcomed by people with ME/CFS, ‘patient’ organisations and most clinicians and services."
5/
"The most important and relevant change for physiotherapists is rejection of the notion that ME/CFS is caused by deconditioning, ‘dysfunctional illness beliefs’ or ‘exercise avoidance’."
