PA Lyme Virtual Lyme Impact Series

When: Tuesday, January 21, 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM ET

Speakers:  Jennifer L. Fagen & Jeremy A. Shelton

Topic:  Medical Gaslighting and Lyme Disease: The Patient Experience

Medical gaslighting is a form of manipulation that occurs when a patient’s symptoms, experiences, or concerns are dismissed or invalidated, leading them to question their own perception of their health. It can have very serious consequences for people with acute or chronic Lyme disease, including:

• • Patients are not properly diagnosed or dismissed outright
  • Patients may not receive adequate treatment.
  • Patients may experience psychological distress, anxiety, depression, and trauma associated with medical gaslighting.
