What Are Body Dysmorphic and Eating Disorders? A Look at Body Image | The Proof Clips EP

In this enlightening episode where I interview Gemma Sharp, we dive deep into the complexities of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), setting it distinctly apart from mere dissatisfaction with one's appearance. Gemma thoroughly examines BDD, a condition characterized by an overwhelming obsession with perceived physical flaws, severely disrupting daily life and overall well-being. Here are the key points we explore: • The contrast between BDD and general negative body image, emphasises the clinical seriousness of BDD. • How BDD's prevalence varies yet shows common traits across genders, typically beginning in adolescence. • The interplay of genetic and environmental factors in BDD's development, offering insight into its complex nature. • The close connection between BDD and eating disorders, discussing orthorexia's impact and body image's role in disordered eating patterns. • The significant influence of external elements like family dynamics and social media on body image perceptions and the potential for eating disorders. Join us as we unravel the complexities of BDD and its wider implications on mental health, highlighting the urgent need for increased awareness and comprehension of this incapacitating condition and its ties to societal influences.
