  • No idea how prevalent and misunderstood EDS is

    These episodes can’t drop fast enough, knowing what families go through and deaths and lives stalled inevitably by the approach held up by the “sceptic” medical councils’ /body’s party line. If you think about it, a coroner writing “cause of death: eating disorder” ..the statistics will NEVER REFLECT REALITY. Black mirror stuff. What’s up, Wake up, docs? Is this condition, and other physical conditions, the reason that gold standard psychiatry so pitifully and frequently fails “intransigent” ano... more

    As an educated athletic nurse, I have deteriorated after picking up Covid at work in 2020 to the point where I can barely get out of bed due to a racing heart rate and subsequent fatigue. Medicine has given me so many psycho... more

Frequently Asked Questions About All In Her Head

What is All In Her Head about and what kind of topics does it cover?

This series explores contested medical decisions and patient experiences around complex, poorly understood conditions, with a focus on how evidence, guidelines, and access interact in real-world care. Episodes frequently center on diagnostic uncertainty, the tension between international criteria and local practice, and the human costs of medical disagreement.
