Wessely says it is a somatiform disorder. Prof Hooper is showing the evidence that says it is an organic neurological illness as did the world health authority in 1969.

The problem is wessely is on the boards of some big healthcare isurance companies (USA / Worldwide) and is popular in the UK government. The healthcare companies are denying people payouts because of wesselys "research" and in the UK people are being denied benefits due to him.

His research is fundamentally flawed and ignores all scientific research that shows ME/CFS is not a "functional" illness.

The article is pretty heavy but interesting.

I hope that helps
