====The Mental Health Movement: Persecution of Patients==== Professor [[Malcolm Hooper]]'s report, subtitled ''A consideration of the role of Professor Simon Wessely and other members of the "Wessely School" in the perception of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) in the UK'' was written as a briefing for the UK government’s House of Commons Select Health Committee. The Mental Health Movement: Persecution of Patients describes how Simon Wessely, psychiatrists of the [[Wessely school]] and a few other professionals have "denigrated" patients over a long period of time, presenting patients as manipulating others for "secondary gain", and Wessely's attempts to re-classify [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]] as simply a [[fatigue]] condition called [[chronic fatigue syndrome]], presenting it as a psychiatric rather than physical, neurological condition–even misusing the [[World Health Organization]] logo and incorrectly presenting the WHO classification of ME/CFS to do so.<ref name=":6" /> {{collapse bottom}} =====Re: The Mental Health Movement: Persecution of Patients -- ~~~~===== ::: Replace this text with your reply
