ME/CFS
In 2019, Dr Mehlsen joined with many other clinicians and the patient group ME Foreningen in successfully calling for the Danish parliament to treat ME/CFS as a neurological illness with a biomedical basis rather than continuing to treat it as psychosomatic illness or functional disorder (medically unexplained symptoms),  and to use the World Health Organization's ICD classification. The group called upon the department of health to update it's information.
