Have I got the wrong end of the stick here?

The ME Association seem to be asking for young people with ME to participate in a BBC documentary within a series on mental health!

Hi Jenny, my reading of it is that the image posted is an example of one newsbeat documentary which was about mental health but they've done plenty of others as you can see here - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0390z6l/episodes/player
I watched the one about Crohns which I thought was really good. I think that the one about ME should be just about ME, not about mental health so it looks like good news - will hopefully be good for raising awareness. Then again it really depends on the program makers and I can see it going either way eg. appearing to show that the LP or something similar 'works' which wouldn't be helpful. That's my reading of it, but I could be wrong. I hope that they do their research properly, this could be a really good documentary.
