Body Dysmorphic Disorder
Submitted by Scott on Mon, 2001-11-19 05:58
Neil Steyskal submitted this story from the Sydney Morning Herald about body dysmorphic disorder in men. This is a little talked about problem, and one that is on the rise: "In this month's British Medical Journal, two researchers, Australian David Castle and American Katharine Phillips say body image is becoming almost as big an issue for men as for women...Castle says: "We want people to be healthy, but on the other hand if you look at the sort of images we are being flooded with, nobody could achieve those looks - looks which are extreme.""Source: The Sydney Morning Herald [Australian newspaper]
