About this listen

Dr. Katharine Phillips is a world-leading psychiatrist and researcher on Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).

Why do people with normal—often attractive—appearances see themselves as hideous or broken? Is social media making this worse? And why is cosmetic surgery rarely the answer

Expect to learn what Body Dysmorphic Disorder really is (and isn’t), why it’s often misdiagnosed or misunderstood, the role of perfectionism, trauma, and shame in BDD, how modern social media culture is fueling body image obsession, why cosmetic procedures usually backfire for sufferers, the impact of BDD on relationships, men’s growing struggle with muscle dysmorphia (‘bigorexia’), the most effective evidence-based treatments—and much more.
