The prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder in celebrities
The majority of us are self-conscious about our appearance. It’s very normal to notice our “imperfections,” whether they be a muffin top or a crooked nose. Body dysmorphic individuals are so obsessed with their imperfections that they are unable to recognize themselves as a whole. It’s the only thing they see when they look in the mirror, and it’s what they believe other people see as well.

In the twenty-first century, stigmas surrounding mental illness are being reduced, but problems with looks and body image are more widespread than ever.
