Extreme Mental Exhaustion

I have had ME since 1981 and recently following an extended hospital stay which contributed to a serious relapse I was diagnosed as having 'extreme mental exhaustion' I agreed to see the psych teams both psychiatric and psychological as per the hospitals wishes but both teams said its a result of the ME and not a mental health problem and I need specialist services . As we don't have a ME team in my area what would the specialists on this forum suggest would help to manage this aspect of this illness.
