Description

Body Image has been described as the mental picture an individual has of themselves. How an individual perceives their shape and size can be directly related to their self-esteem. Those who experience body dissatisfaction have also been found to experience symptoms of depression or anxiety. The goal of this research project is to explore the underlying factors that can influence body image, and how experiencing distorted body image can impact mental well-being.
