Title
Fearing Compassion Under the Weight of Stigma: A Structural Equation Model Study on Depressive Symptoms in Women With Lipoedema
Abstract
Lipoedema is a chronic disorder primarily affecting women. Often mistaken for obesity due to its characteristic build-up of fat cells in the legs and sometimes arms, lipoedema leaves women vulnerable to social stigma. This study investigated the role of fears of compassion and depressive symptoms in the context of weight stigma and internal weight bias in women with lipoedema.
