Medical Fatphobia: It is ridiculous to suggest weight loss, given how many doctors missed critical diagnoses by wrongfully assigning symptoms to one’s weight.
This woman was told to lose weight by doctors who missed that she had a 104-pound ovarian tumor since the 5TH GRADE!
I think about how people are in therapy dealing with hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, or chronic sympathetic activation. All of these present in changes of mood. How many people are diagnosed as mentally ill without acknowledging what’s going on in their physical body.
