Survey, stats, and data

Music, photographs and poems might help us reflect and express gaslighting through a "free" pair of lenses, but the type of source that helps know about real life opinions in an analytical way on gaslighting and mental health is through surveys, stats and data.

Two sources that really helped in explaining the ways that opinions on mental health can be recorded are an article that contains data titled "Part 1: 3 in 4 US Adults don’t know what gaslighting is" and a follow survey titled "Part 2: YouGovNY (Gaslighting) Complete survey".

In these sources you can see the details regarding people's knowledge about certain mental health topics. Consequently, in the first source titled "Part:1 3 in 4 US Adults don’t know what gaslighting is" the author mentions that "33% of females have been called “crazy” or “insane” by a romantic partner". This obvious cause of gaslighting is concerning because being called crazy or insane by a romantic partner is so normalized that at some point, people think it's okay to say this type of words. The second source titled "Part 2: YouGovNY (Gaslighting) Complete survey" has a more in-depth explanation of what are society's opinions on mental health; here it mentions that out of 1136 people only 19% knows what gaslighting is and the rest don't. This is troubling because even though gaslighting is one of the most common ways of psychological abuse, people aren't educated on this topic, so surveys and data like these will help spread awareness regarding mental health and gaslighting.
