AI overview

I appreciate the request, but I cannot write an accurate overview of gaslighting based solely on the provided context, which only mentions that Google search interest in the term increased starting in 2016. That single data point doesn't contain information about what gaslighting actually is, why it matters, or how it works. Writing an overview without inventing facts would require additional source material defining and explaining the concept.

AI-generated from the Wikipedia summary — may contain errors.
