Invisible Illnesses with Meghan O'Rourke

Invisible Illnesses with Meghan O'Rourke

Author Meghan O'Rourke joins Jameela this week to discuss invisible illnesses, or illnesses that do not manifest externally. They cover their own personal journeys with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, how lonely having an auto-immune disorder can make you feel, why these and women's health in general is so under-studied, the relationship between auto-immune disorders and mental health, and why we can be hopeful about the future.


Check out Meghan O'Rourke's book - The Invisible Kingdom: Reimagining Chronic Illness - wherever books are sold.
