In the interview she says: "Adolescents with ME often get (or develop*) anxiety, and they have a 10 times higher chance of developing depression compared to the normal population.
I agree with those here who've called into question the second subtheme about anxiety over missed school work. As someone whose CFS started in adolescence, I was far more worried about missed attendance, not seeing friends, and being unable to perform the basic activities necessary to get to school in the morning than I was about the work. The only anxiety I felt that way was that I would be graded unfairly due to having to cram weeks of course material I'd receieved the day before a test, or being forced to take tests while enduring severe flu-like symptoms. Once I got access to the school coursework via computer, I blew through entire courses in a week, despite being coherent only a few hours a day. All this really points to is that adolescents with CFS should receive the same accommodations as other students with disabilities, rather than being held to the same standards as their healthy peers due to assumption of malingering on the part of the school and/or medical system.
