I think we should describe it as Mitochondrial Energy (ME) disease when talking about ME for public education and outreach. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Everyone knows that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. And we know that ME significantly affects the mitochondria. So by unofficially renaming it to Mitochondrial Energy (ME) disease, it helps unfamiliar readers to understand the primary mechanism at a glance, without having to research it more. Easier public understanding can lead to better public image and more donors.
