In 2019, the Danish parliament unanimously voted to separate ME/CFS from functional disorders (medically unexplained symptoms), and to treat the disease as a physical neurological illness using the World Health Organization classification rather than as psychosomatic illness, and called upon the department of health to update it's information.[2][3]
In previous years, the controversial biopsychosocial model was the main approach to treatment for patients with ME/CFS in Denmark.[2]
Fast forward to 2024, and nothing has happened. Denmark still uses a psychosocial model. Per Fink has had the final say on ME/CFS in Denmark since 2007.
