Researchers studied how a 16-week group therapy program helped 10 ME/CFS patients manage their condition better. Participants attended sessions with a psychologist and other patients dealing with the same illness, learning new ways to think about and cope with their symptoms. Most people found the program helpful and reported feeling more in control of their illness, without experiencing harm from it.
