Appropriate ME Treatment

Proceeding contribution from Julian Lewis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 January 2019. It occurred during Backbench debate on Appropriate ME Treatment.

My constituent Rachael King told me that one area in which there has been understanding is in schools, saying that Noadswood School and Brockenhurst College in my constituency are very understanding indeed. However, she says that her 15-year-old daughter Larissa is one of the luckier ones in that respect, because so many people are not believed, as we have heard today. If they were not depressed by the condition, they will be depressed as a consequence. However, ME is not depression; it is a serious illness in its own right.
