Here is a new paper from Esther Crawley. Still too much on mood disorders, disrupting essential sleep, GET,CBT, and mother blaming, but, on first reading, some improvements in a few areas over her previous efforts.

Abstract: Pediatric chronic fatigue syndrome is an important illness as it is relatively common and also very disabling with a wide range of impacts on the child, the family, and health care systems. It is a complicated illness but the majority of children get better with specialist treatment. This literature review provides an update on the epidemiology of chronic fatigue syndrome /
myalgic encephalomyelitis, including factors associated with it, and discusses the current evidence for treatment.
