Learn about The Invisible Patient.

Welcome to The Invisible Patient, a space dedicated to exploring the often-overlooked experiences of those navigating illness, caregiving, and the complexities of the healthcare system. So many individuals find themselves feeling unseen—whether due to chronic illness, disability, mental health struggles, or the emotional toll of caring for others. This blog was created to give voice to those experiences, to share personal stories, and to foster conversations that bring greater awareness and understanding.

Here, I dive into what it means to exist in the margins of healthcare, where symptoms are dismissed, pain is minimised, and the emotional weight of illness or caregiving often goes unrecognised. Through reflections, insights, and shared experiences, my goal is to create a space where people feel heard, validated, and empowered. Whether you are a patient searching for solidarity, a caregiver seeking support, or someone wanting to better understand these hidden struggles, The Invisible Patient is here for you. Together, we can shine a light on the unseen and remind each other that we are not alone.
