== Medical neglect == Medically unexplained symptoms guidance recommendations includes avoiding doing "unnecessary" diagnostic tests due to the believe in the risk of "iatrogenic harm" and patients may be taught to avoid "[[illness beliefs|symptom focusing]]", leaving people with a physical illness at risk of [[Medical neglect and abuse|medical neglect]] due to the lack of investigation of comorbidities, or failure to correctly diagnose other causes for symptoms or other illnesses, and lack of biomedical treatment.<ref name="Mihelicova">{{Cite journal | last = Mihelicova | first = Martina | authorlink = Martina Mihelicova | last2 = Siegel | first2 = Zachary | authorlink2 = Zachary Siegel | last3 = Evans | first3 = Meredyth | authorlink3 = Meredyth Evans | last4 = Brown | first4 = Abigail | authorlink4 = Abigail Brown | last5 = Jason | first5 = Leonard | authorlink5 = Leonard Jason | date = Dec 2016 | title = Caring for People with Severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of Parentsโ Experiences|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4675701/|journal=Journal of health psychology|volume=21|issue=12|pages=2824โ2837|doi=10.1177/1359105315587137|issn=1359-1053|pmc=4675701|pmid=26063209|quote=|via=}}</ref><ref name="Disdain">{{Cite web|url=http://www.wakeupcallbeweging.be/pdf/30yearsdisdainsummary.pdf | title=THIRTY YEARS OF DISDAIN: How HHS and a group of psychiatrists Buried Myalgic Encephalomyelitis | last = Dimmock|first = Mary | authorlink = Mary Dimmock | last2 = Lazell-Fairman | first2 = Matthew | authorlink2 = Matthew Lazell-Fairman | date = Dec 2015 | website = |archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=Nov 5, 2018}}</ref><ref name="Geraghtyharm">{{Cite journal | last = Geraghty|first = Keith J. | authorlink = Keith Geraghty | last2 = Blease | first2 = Charlotte | authorlink2 = Charlotte Blease | date = 2018-06-21 | title = Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome and the biopsychosocial model: a review of patient harm and distress in the medical encounter |url = https://www.tandfonline.com/action/captchaChallenge?redirectUri=%2Fdoi%2Ffull%2F10.1080%2F09638288.2018.1481149|journal=Disability and Rehabilitation|language=en|volume=41|issue=25 | pages = 3092-3102|doi=10.1080/09638288.2018.1481149|issn=0963-8288|quote=|via=}}</ref><ref name="Ten-yr">{{Cite web|url=http://www.forward-me.org.uk/Reports/10%20year%20surveillance%20(2017).pdf | title=10 year surveillance report consultation comments {{!}} NICE CFS/ME guidelines | last = Forward-ME|first = | authorlink = Forward-ME | date = 2017 | website = |archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2019-02-10}}</ref> {{See also|Medical neglect and abuse}}
