Resum:
Some chronic illnesses may not be visible to the gaze of others. Mistaking a sick person for a healthy one, the delegitimation of illness experience, and/or the lack of biomedical diagnosis hide the experience of suffering and put sideways some care needs of people affected. The aim of this article is to address the question of the social treatment of the body exploring the explanatory models of these ‘healthy-sick’ bodies in order to shed light on invisibility paradox through four analytical constructs: physical, social, medical and political invisibility.
