Incidence of M.E.
Sir,—Dr Clements of the Health Department rightly suggests that “an accurate diagnosis is the prime concern of general practitioners,” and says M.E. should not be confused with treatable conditions such as depression. Dr Erich Ryll (after nine years of study of M.E. in the United States) said at the Christchurch meeting that some of his long-term patients also showed symptoms of primary depressive illness, and also symptoms of epilepsy. I trust the Health Department will include these facts in their information to doctors. Will the information about M.E. also be available to the general public? — Yours, etc., G. COOKE. June 19, 1984.
