What is "medical gaslighting" and which Canadians are affected most by it?
Medical gaslighting is subject to a new study at the University of Windsor looking at how people are not being taken seriously or dismissed entirely by medical providers. The university is working with Canadians, sharing their stories of medical gaslighting. “This kind of thing can lead to death,” said Marissa Rakus, study coordinator. “It was extremely traumatic,” said Katrina Dobson, a victim of medical gaslighting. While a newly coined term, medical gaslighting has been around for decades, affecting mostly women and minority groups. Medical gaslighting can be described as the experience of being disbelieved, not taken seriously, and dismissed by medical providers – with many health issues being reduced to weight, hormones or mental health problems.
