ELI5: Lyme disease is often misdiagnosed, and seemingly a life altering illness. Why is it that doctors in the US are so uneducated about it, or taught to dismiss it?

I know quite a few people who suffer from chronic Lyme disease, sadly. The most common issues they all consistently have is; lack of medical professional knowledge about the disease. Is Lyme disease the cause for many other diseases most people aren't aware of? For example: Depression, MS, fibromyalgia, ect.

Chronic Lyme disease is kind of the flavor of the month for a certain type of personality disorder.

There's no evidence it exists, and since it doesn't exist it's impossible to prove someone doesn't have it.  And since it's impossible to prove someone doesn;t have it people who wish to believe they have it can never be dissuaded.
