This sort of thing has been discussed elsewhere on the forum, but this training document is an interesting insight into what the psychiatrists are being taught about CFS, Fibro, IBS etc. It seems that psychiatrists are taught that CFS, Fibro, IBS etc., all fall within the classification of Medically Unexplained Symptoms (MUS.)
The training document discusses Medically Unexplained Symptoms and is part of an educational course for post-graduate psychiatry trainees for their MRCPsych exams.
The document can be downloaded here:

But I've taken the liberty of converting the document to a PDF document and have attached it to this post.
I really don't recommend reading it, esp if feeling a bit low at the moment, unless you're in the right sort of mood for it. It may make your blood to boil. But it is very interesting from an information perspective.
There's so much in the document that I could quote, and challenge, but I don't know where to begin!
I wonder if any of them question any of this stuff?
As far as my understanding goes, this training information seems to be standard for psychiatrists, and this particular training company describes itself as follows:

"...established online since June 2003, but successfully preparing psychiatry trainees for their MRCPsych exams for many years before. The course provides post-graduate MRCPsych training to trainees in Psychiatry working in Psychiatry Departments in Cambridge and the surrounding area."
