A neuropathologist told the court that Sophia’s spinal cord was inflamed, with three quarters of her sensory cells displaying significant abnormalities. Yet, as Sophia’s treatment by the medical establishment had underlined – she was forcibly sectioned for a spell in 2003 – many doctors handle ME (also known as postviral or chronic fatigue syndrome), as if it were a mental condition.<ref name=":3" /></blockquote> *Jan 24, 2012, [https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn9342-first-official-uk-death-from-chronic-fatigue-syndrome/ First official UK death from chronic fatigue syndrome]<ref name=":2" /> <blockquote>Chronic fatigue syndrome has been given as an official cause of death for the first time in the UK.
