1) Meanwhile at he neighbours overseas: "Over two years on from the outbreak of the pandemic, this (...) condition is adding to Britain’s labour market crisis, contributing to the highest number of people out of work because of long-term sickness in almost two decades."
3) We don't have these numbers like UK does because they are not registered. I think: a cardinal mistake. You can´t solve or prevent a problem that you don´t see clearly enough. And we don't see it enough.
4) We invest relatively little money in research of LC. One of the studies we run is CBT for LC, named ReCOVer (zonmw.nl/nl/over-zonmw/…). We know this treatment from CBT for ME/CFS. The scientifical basis for this has been rejected in a review in 2021.
5) To my knowledge there isn't a proper basis for CBT for LC either. As a psychologist myself I'm deeply ashamed and baffled by my own profession who doesn't appear to question this strongly. They are obligated to do so by their professional code. (psynip.nl/uw-beroep/bero…).
6) To make things worse: most studies into LC in the Netherlands aren't biomedical. That doesn't reflect the nature of subtypes of LC (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34888989). Interestingly enough: one of the probable subtypes of LC is ME/CFS.
7) The Gezondheidsraad has stated that biomedical research into this condition is absolutely necessary. (gezondheidsraad.nl/documenten/adv…). In the meantime an essential biomedical study of Rob Wüst for LC isn't financed and he needs to crowdfund (

8) Apparantly the personal convictions, preferences and/or interests of professors in psychology can be leading in this country, instead of the most recent scientifcal developments (for further substantiation of this claim:
