hmmm. To be honest, that’s an okay summary out of context, but it really fails to grasp the essence of the paper. It’s not wrong per say, but it adds irrelevant details while withholding key information. I wouldn’t rely on chatgpt’s summary for this.

There’s a feature of some Long COVID cases (~50%) which is also the defining feature of an illness called ME/CFS which has been caused by various forms of viral infections throughout history. (It is thought that a lot of Long COVID cases are ME/CFS). Anyways this feature is, Post-Exertional Malaise, a worsening of the illness after exertion beyond a certain threshold, which can entail hundreds of symptoms and be permanent.

This paper is a review of some of the biomedical studies looking at what could possibly cause this, and finds there is repeated data of Microvascular (blood vessels) and immunometabolic (metabolic markers relating to immune function) differences with healthy controls.

The leading hypotheses are that this is caused by mitochondrial dysfunction which is mediated by a dysregulated immune system.

Some of my colleagues were co-authors on this paper. I’ll forward the feedback that it is jargony.

Lol

Are octopus related to octopus? I mean technically they’re 100% related, but also they aren’t related as related implies not being. Depends on your interpretation.

FYI, you seem to be new here and seem not to be far-left. For your future enjoyment of lemmy, note that Lemmy.ML is a communist instance and therefore you may not like some of the content there.

Lac Léman, is the french word for what english people call lake geneva (all the region around lac léman is french speaking).

Léman comes from celtic “lemann” which means lake.

So lac léman is the lake lake. Given it is the biggest lake in western europe, not a bad name.

That’s not how these collegues treat them.

They act like you can basically “think yourself out of” most mental illnesses.

unpopular opinion is not the same thing as academic literature lol makes sense.

Though I found the points to be well thought it (if not clearly written in a rush).

Also to be fair given the post, they could likely be a med student or something. Most people aren’t aware of the specific biological factors they listed nor some of the conditions, as OP used some medical terminology not often seen used by layman.

Yeah thats how it sounds to me 😂

Its patient blaming all the way in my (non-official) opinion

That’s only in some schools of thought of psychology.

There are plenty of praticing psychologists and psychiatrists (some of my colleagues) who genuinely believe and publish research along the lines of “all mental illness are caused by thoughts and behaviours”. Research that in my opinion is heavily flawed, but still published and peer reviewed, so a lot of people in the field think this way.

As a neurologist (specialising in post-viral illness) I don’t have the expertise to comment on points 2 and 3 of your post, but point one is completely correct.
