I am pleased to see a recommendation for shared paediatric/mental health clinics in treating CFS/ME. My clinical impression in a non- specialist hospital department is that most of these patients do not experience or exhibit anxiety or depression as much as profound frustration. This is similar to the presentation of children who cannot attend school ('school refusal') which of course is often a feature of CFS too.
