The Mayo paper seems to be quite slanted against psychological aspects.

There is quite a lot of research, and it shows that both stressful life events and viral infections tend to be triggers. (We know that viral infections are physiologically stressful, in that they activate the HPA axis).

There is also an abundance of evidence that psychological therapy and multidisciplinary rehabilitation helps patients. So this definitely isn't just laziness in saying "maybe it's psychological".



Yeah I mean 23 MDs went to retreat to try to summarize current best understanding of this disease versus your individual opinion.

Which evidence? And why did Mayo/British NIH/CDC/WHO happen to miss this "abundance of evidence"? Without pointing to wonky stuff, how could all those cumulative people employed at those organizations be wrong, and you random internet stranger with no citations happen to have nailed it? I'm assuming you're not claiming Mayo is somehow dishonest. So are you claiming they're incompetent? If neither on what ground do you assert its incorrect?

This is like arguing with an anti-vaxxer who argues "we just don't know, I heard the jab makes you infertile". Almost seems like a waste to even bother replying.
