What Are the Signs of 'Medical Gaslighting"?

What Are the Signs of 'Medical Gaslighting"? - Your provider continually interrupts you, won't let you elaborate and doesn't seem to be an engaged listener. - The provider minimizes or downplays symptoms, like questioning whether you have pain, or refuses to discuss your symptoms. - The provider won't order imaging or lab work to rule out or confirm a diagnosis. - You feel that the provider is rude, condescending or belittling. - Your symptoms are blamed on mental illness, but you are neither given a mental health referral nor screened for such illness.
