So, on the back of the present study, they see themselves using ME/CFS research money to investigate the role of depression and other psychological factors in the condition. Presumably they would argue that this is very important because according to their study the majority of children with CFS were also deemed to have depression. Best to set aside the distinct possibility that those children – or at least a good proportion of them – had depression instead of CFS, because that would spoil the plan.
that's the thing.. we all know governments do not want money spent on our illness.. so this could be said to be part of a conspiratory to legally have money which is said to have got to CFS go to researching depression. (was her study gov funded?).
In America years ago, the CDC spent CFS funding on other things as they just didn't want it going to CFS.. and here we have Crawley, funded openly to be able to do same kind of thing and what is worst, its out in the public and she's getting away with doing it.
We are going downhill with things.. her further study with mostly children with depression rather then CFS.. will be used to prove psych methods work on CFS. Is there no way she can be stopped? If she gets away with this, she's going to get away with further studies which may greatly show psych treatments are helpful and then those studies wil be used to support other bad studies that were done.
This is a rolling snowball.
