Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) have never been classified as mental disorders or a mental illness, the World Health Organization (WHO) classifies both as neurological disorders, and they do not appear in the American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental and Behavioral Disorders (DSM), however ME/CFS is often poorly understood and can be mistaken for a mental health condition involving unhelpful illness beliefs and behavioral "symptoms".

Any person can develop a mental illness, including people with ME/CFS, for example depression and anxiety.
