I can understand the resistance against psychological explanations.<p>Over a decade ago, I had some completely different problems (worsening allergies and a bacteria infection) which made me really tired. I thought it was burn out, so I took time off and tried to go back to work a few rounds before it was solved. I was not in a good shape.<p>I&#x27;m quite certain that I would have gotten a diagnosis if I had talked to a psychologist then, just from trying to keep up with work and life (even without children) under those conditions.<p>The same probably goes double for sufferers of chronic fatigue syndrome. And they have been written off for years as mental cases. :-( I really can understand their anger.
