Katherine Langford tells us about new guidelines in development to update and in-form psychologists on the nature and impact of ME.

*Speed Read/summary*
ME is not a psychological illness. It can’t be cured with psychological treatment. Katherine Langford knows this from personal experience, after receiving harmful advice when she was first ill.

Therefore, the British Psychological Society is developing guidelines on ME/CFS.
