Natasha Devon raising concerns about Simon Wessely being involved in the government’s mental health review. Wessely has “already said that he thinks that mental illness is overdiagnosed. So he's not coming from a place of impartiality”. 25 April 2026.

Clip: Dr @binitakane.bsky.social explains how ME is an energy-limiting illness. The hallmark symptom, Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM), means even normal activities can trigger a worsening of symptoms. Some of her patients have to choose between a shower or preparing a meal that day.
Dr Charles Shepherd (@meassociation.org.uk) explains how in the 80s and 90s psychiatrists claimed #MECFS was due to “deconditioning” and “abnormal illness beliefs”. Graded exercise therapy made many patients worse, with some ending up in wheelchairs. It was only removed from NICE guidance in 2021.
Short German TV clip. #MECFS cases have doubled since 2020, many linked to #LongCovid. Patients describe lives wiped out overnight, years housebound or bedridden, and having to choose between showering or playing with their child.
People with #LongCovid, #MECFS and similar conditions don’t get the recognition and funding they deserve — @DrAmirKhanGP.bsky.social Unless decision makers have been personally affected, it’s almost as if they think ‘it won’t happen to me’ — @ZackPolanski.bsky.social
“To fight for ourselves is dangerous.” @maggieboxey.bsky.social has #MECFS following a suspected Covid infection. In her TEDx talk, she explains that after speaking to Congress, she spent several days in a crash and that if she’s not careful, it could permanently lower her baseline.
#MECFS patients and advocates not only had to fight flawed research and harmful treatments, they also had to deal with attempts to discredit them, like a PACE author calling an MP “unbecoming” and accusing MPs of defamation and libellous comments for scrutinising his work.
Caroline Kingdon speaking about functional impairment and mortality in #MECFS Biobank research has shown people with ME/CFS to be more functionally impaired than people with MS. And between 2001–2016, ME/CFS was mentioned on 88 death certificates in England and Wales.
“They’ve grown up with me always being ill and I feel that I’ve let them down because of that.” Andrea has lived with severe #MECFS for 33 years and is confined to bed nearly 24 hours a day. From BBC Lifeline: Action for ME
Clip #MECFS 1993: Many believed it was psychological or simply depression, as many still do today. A patient also describes her frustration at appearing well but “paying for it for weeks” afterwards. An early description of post-exertional malaise.
“She actually asked me a couple of times, you know, am I going to die? She felt so unwell.” Isla is 10 and developed #MECFS after a COVID infection. She is 95% housebound and just wants to “have fun and do things with her friends”. From BBC Lifeline: Action for ME
