chuchie ledesma from Zen Health Magazine visited me for an interview on body dysmorphic disorder (bdd). this is a psychiatric disorder characterized by a preoccupation on imagined bodily defects.
.
because people with bdd become very distressed about their looks, it is common for them to undergo multiple unnecessary surgeries. some of these people, you’ll find on the website http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/. michael jackson, suspected bdd patient due to his numerous facial surgeries, were among those frequently featured in the website. here is a pic of jocelyn wildenstein who has had her eyes and nose done, her lips plumped up, her chin fixed, and her face lifted a good number of times.
.
so what causes bdd? probably a combination of genetic predisposition, peer pressure, low self-esteem, and media influence. if you want to know more about body dysmorphic disorder, you’ll need to get next month’s copy of Zen Health Mag.
