Trigger warning: This episode discusses body image and mental health. If this conversation raises concerns for you, please seek support from a qualified professional or contact Lifeline Australia on 13 11 14 or via lifeline.org.au. You’re not alone.
Clinical psychologist and BDD researcher Dr Toni Pikoos breaks down body dysmorphic disorder (BDD or body dysmorphia) - what it is, the signs to look for, and how it can impact everyday life. We explore what makes someone vulnerable, common triggers, and the role hormones can play. Plus, we unpack the influence of social media, the conversation around cosmetic procedures, the rise of GLP-1 medications and their impact on body image, and what effective treatment and support can look like.
