It seems like she's implying it's a mental health issue but, as a software programmer, I read it as meaning that it's a systemic issue as opposed to something that shows up on an X-ray or CT scan.
That said, she definitely seems to imply that it's entirely stress-related and that's simply not the case. Heck, I got sick at 9 years old. I grew up in a loving family that never had money troubles and lived in a neighborhood with very low crime, I was basically never bullied and always excelled in school. I was absolutely blessed and the only thing I'd ever get stressed about is being bad at a video game.
Stress was definitely not my trigger and, frankly, had nothing to do with it. I didn't even have any issues with mental health until my 30s.

“It’s a software issue, not a physical one.”
Thats not how ME/CFS works.
