- Abstract
Women disproportionately experience medical gaslighting, especially older women, women with disabilities, and women of color. This article explores the challenges older women, particularly those with disabilities, encounter in obtaining respectful healthcare. It focuses on medical gaslighting, or the dismissal of these elders' medical issues as imaginary or resulting from mental health issues. It also covers denial of care, minimizing or ignoring physical signs of illness, and paternalization, as well as the potential of the disability justice movement to improve outcomes.
