Yes, and I thought the rationale for having such pix - the intention to be upbeat - was interesting. They obviously hadn't thought through that if you have a disease that's dismissed as trivial, the last thing you want to communicate about it is a more upbeat message than is justified.
My question would be: who gets an upbeat feeling when they look at that? It's not the patients, they get downbeat because it trivializes the illness and portrays it as not being that bad. The only people who look at it and feel upbeat are these committee members because they can pretend that this is us, and not feel bad about it - not be faced with the reality of the illness.
If it is an innocent mistake then these people are shockingly insensitive and unthinking. That’s the best case scenario.
I think it is more likely that it is just spin to keep the reality suppressed.
