What is Body Dysmorphia and What are Some of Its Symptoms?
Having body dysmorphic disorder means the victim focuses on his or her appearance and body image -- by repeatedly checking the mirror, constantly grooming, and seeking the reassurance of others -- sometimes for many hours each day. (Source: The Mayo Clinic)
Perceived flaws and repetitive behaviors cause the sufferer significant distress, and may impact his or her ability to function in daily life.
Sometimes, victims may seek out numerous cosmetic procedures to try to "fix" the perceived flaws.
Afterward, feelings of temporary satisfaction or a reduction in distress are often replaced by the same anxiety which leads to searching for other ways to fix the perceived flaw.
Intense body dysmorphia may lead to the following serious health conditions:
- Major depression or mood disorders;
- Suicidal ideations;
- Anxiety and social anxiety disorders;
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder;
- Eating disorders;
- Substance abuse; and,
- Other similar conditions
What is the Connection Between Excessive Social Media and Body Dysmorphia?
While social media use doesn’t cause the psychological condition of body dysmorphia, it certainly may increase the risk potential.
Excessive exposure to social media -- particularly sites that rely on user-generated imagery -- can mean victims come into contact with a variety of edited images that can set an almost impossible standard of acceptable beauty or attractiveness in both males and females.
According to The Lexington Online, “Constant exposure to altered images can lead to an unhealthy pressure to achieve unrealistic body types, which can result in body dysmorphic behaviors.”
Particularly in a COVID-19 pandemic, a victim’s exposure to social media may increase dramatically, and their risk for psychological problems increase along with it.
We offer psychological victims of excessive social media use and their families an opportunity for justice -- which may include a free legal evaluation of their case and compensation in a court of law.
