When It's NOT All in Your Head: Medical Gaslighting

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Psychological Perspectives with Dr. Deb


I’ve worked with many children and adults who’ve been told to seek mental health treatment by medical professionals, because their physical complaints were not real. 

These patients were told things like, “It’s all in your head,” “There’s nothing medically wrong,” or“You’re fine and have to learn how to deal with the pain.”

In my 30 plus years of practice, all of these traumatized patients – the majority of them females – did, indeed, have real medical issues. They were not seeking attention, hypochondriacs or experiencing conversion disorder or a somatic disorder. They were dealing with rare illnesses that weren’t considered plausible in the medical community.

It was not all in their head.

      The VA uses that excuse anytime they don’t feel like running any tests. Which BTW is all the time. When you have been poisoned and your symptoms don’t seem to match what they are allowed to treat according to what is on the 3×5 card they are reading off of at that moment. Same reason they keep rotating low time doctors through the system as fast as they can. If you can find a doctor. Most times a PA or an NP instead.
