Exactly— the paper says that Long Haul Clinics should NOT be run by mental health providers. NOT.
My point was that blaming LH symptoms on mental health is NOT ok.

understand and totally agree it is not ok to blame pain and LH symptoms on stress. Patients are dying from long covid.

Also, LC clinics should no longer be run by pulmonologists as they were originally set up (understandably so, but now it’s known that the primary symptoms of fatigue and brain fog are not pulmonary). I just started a new virtual LC clinic on Thursday and it was so refreshing to have this all validated. Furthermore, this new doctor (who is neither a pulmonologist nor a mental health specialist) is up to speed on all the emerging science and literature. I no longer have to do all the research myself, provide it to my doctor, and request specific treatments based on the most current data.
