What is gaslit meaning?

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person or a group makes someone question their sanity, memory, or perceptions. The term comes from the play "Gas Light" and its adaptations, where a husband manipulates his wife into thinking she is insane by altering the gaslights in their home. Gaslighting can occur in personal relationships, workplaces, and politics. It can lead to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem in the victim. Recognizing gaslighting is the first step in stopping it, and seeking professional help may be necessary for recovering from its effects.
