• A woman whose exhaustion was told to be perimenopause by her GP later found the real cause was something else (i Paper, Aug 20 2026).
• The story is the reverse-misattribution moment of the hype era: peri has become such a reflex diagnosis that real causes can now hide behind it - the mirror image of 'it's all in your head'.
