== Description == The Mental Health Movement describes the widespread influence of a small group of British psychiatrists known as the [[Wessely school]] on many politics and guides mentioning myalgic encephalomyelitis, including those by the [[NHS]], the government, political, reports private medical insurance companies, medical journals, the British media and even mentioning the Official Secrets Act. One example is psychiatrist [[Simon Wessely]] providing his personal collection of research studies to the "expert" team tasked with deciding the "best available" evidence about the assessment and treatment of myalgic encephalomyelitis for the [[NICE guidelines]], while also acting in the role of "medical advisor" to the same group. The resulting NICE treatment guidelines followed [[Simon Wessely]]'s views, and included the controversial treatments of [[graded exercise therapy]] and [[cognitive behavioral therapy]].<ref name="mentalhealthmovement" />
