We live in a society that values attractive faces and bodies and ridicules everything that is considered unattractive. This attitude explains why overweight women and underweight men tend to be more depressed which later leads to suicidal thoughts.
The perception of an unsatisfactory physical appearance as a physical weakness is called a Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).
Some research studies claim that up to 8 out of 10 women have a problem with their reflection in the mirror. Therefore, in a recent study, psychologists have decided to determine the extent to which this cause of stress is present in patients suffering from Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) or „Appearance Dissatisfaction“. This syndrome is characterized by excessive dissatisfaction with some parts of the body, even though they are absolutely in normal form.
This disorder occurs more and more and requires attention. while many adults are busy with life, it can have extremely devastating consequences for teenagers. In extreme cases, such perception becomes a mental illness, which then becomes an anxiety or stress disorder.
An unhealthy, deceitful, persistent image stemming from unreal or insignificant imperfection causes depression, isolation or even suicide attempts in adolescents. Individuals who suffer from impaired body perception almost continually think about their appearance, or look at mirror almost all the time. This increases the risk of developing eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia (a sick appetite and subsequently induced vomiting). Eating disorders appear to increase the risk of suicide.
Every woman dreams about perfect body and many are not afraid to take various risks and procedures for her own beauty confidence and satisfaction. The pressure of the media that casts on us celebrities with the body of the goddess, a flawless face and a big bust is not negligible. Who wouldn’t want to look that perfect too? Unfortunately, the path to a dreamlike appearance can easily become a literally way to hell. The fear of one’s own ugliness and aging leads to one plastic operation after another, but such interventions cannot sustain your body and psyche for a long time.
Body Dismorphia and dependence on plastic surgeries
A single plastic surgery can make miracles. The surgeon can remove scars after an injury, shape a perfect nose, sew up protruding ears, enlarge breasts, etc. When the individual decides to do so for absolutely rational reasons and he/she does not overdo it, everything is fine. After the procedure, the person gets what he or she desired and has increased self confidence. However, people who undergo these surgeries should be beware of eternal dissatisfaction for inventing reasons to go under the knife again to a plastic surgeon, etc. In this case, it is a psychological problem, professionally called Dismorphia, or impaired perception of your body. A person with this disorder will not suffice one plastic operation, because the result does not meet the expectation, and so they strive to remake themselves again and again and again. The individual gets into an endless dissatisfaction and undergoes surgeries, treatments. This is not dangerous just for the body but also for the psyche.
