Pervasive Refusal Syndrome

Pervasive Refusal Syndrome (or Pervasive School Refusal Syndrome, PSRS) is not a recognized mental illness or mental health condition; UK charity Invest in ME Research reports that "Where there are some doctors who do not believe in ME as a diagnosis or do not accept that children with ME can be so seriously ill that they need tube feeding then flawed diagnoses are introduced such as Pervasive Refusal Syndrome."
