“Just lose weight”: weight-based medical bias and experiential expertise in intracranial hypertension

Drawing on Mol's concept of the body multiple, the paper argues that clinical and experiential enactments of IH represent fundamentally different understandings of the condition, each incomplete without the other. Meaningful engagement requires recognising experiential expertise as a legitimate form of knowledge and adopting weight-inclusive approaches that prioritise symptom management and quality of life in IH research and practice.

Abstract

Drawing on Mol's concept of the body multiple, the paper argues that clinical and experiential enactments of IH represent fundamentally different understandings of the condition, each incomplete without the other. Meaningful engagement requires recognising experiential expertise as a legitimate form of knowledge and adopting weight-inclusive approaches that prioritise symptom management and quality of life in IH research and practice.
