How Might Excessive Social Media Exposure Lead to Body Dysmorphia?

Body dysmorphic disorder gives the victim an excessive desire to focus on their body appearance and image -- including repeatedly checking the mirror or grooming, as well as seeking the reassurance of others -- often for many hours each day. (Source: The Mayo Clinic)

Perceived flaws and repetitive behaviors cause the sufferer significant distress, and may impact his or her ability to function in daily life.

In other instances, victims may elect to have numerous cosmetic procedures in an effort to try and "fix" the perceived flaws.

Any feelings of temporary satisfaction or a reduction in distress are quickly replaced by the former anxiety level which may lead to finding other ways to fix the perceived flaw.

Intense body dysmorphia may lead to the following serious health conditions: 

  • Anxiety and social anxiety disorders;
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder;
  • Major depression or mood disorders;
  • Suicidal ideations;
  • Eating disorders;
  • Substance abuse; and,
  • Other similar conditions

Social media use doesn’t cause the psychological condition of body dysmorphia, but it certainly can enhance the risk potential.

According to The Lexington Online, “Constant exposure to altered images can lead to an unhealthy pressure to achieve unrealistic body types, which can result in body dysmorphic behaviors.”
