A look at Body Image Issues:
Body image issues in young people refer to negative thoughts, feelings and attitudes towards a person’s own body, shape, size, weight or appearance. This can lead to low self-esteem, lack of body satisfaction, negative self-talk, unhealthy comparisons to others, fear of gaining weight or being overweight, a desire to be thin or muscular, avoidance of social situations due to body concerns, disordered eating habits or behaviours and mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety or eating disorders.
Body image issues have become a complex problem among young people today. According to the Mental Health Foundation, it was found that on an average 51% of young people each year report feeling ashamed, sad or inferior due to body image issues. In this body image issue, women outnumber men because they are more worried about their figure, weight, and body structure. World famous Ayurvedacharya Dr. Sunil Dubey, who is the best sexologist in Patna, says that problems related to body image badly affect the sexual and mental health of a person. Due to this problem, both men and women suffer from different types of sexual problems and psychological disorders. Here we will know the complete information about this body image problem.
