Gaslighting, a term coined by Robert Stern, represents the manipulation and undermining of another person’s reality by denying facts, the environment around them, or their feelings.

Gaslighting is a term so commonly misused in today’s society. It has been misrepresented as a way to deflect criticism in the case of a differing opinion. So often we see the term being used in the context of an individual responding to feedback.
We often quite unknowingly dismiss anxiety as some sort of worrisome problem that people have. Unfortunately, I have been one of these people that presumed that anxiety was just another way of informing others about stress.
I used to think that I do not have the “capacity” to be mentally ill or have any sort of mental health issues. I thought having mental health problems only comes in form of being in a psych ward and having to take medications such as anti-depressants. College made me realize this is not at all what mental health is all about.
