Distorted Self Image From Brain Glitch

If you’ve ever worked with people who obsess over personal flaws … you may be looking at victims whose brain misfire.

People who insist they’re ugly may have a brain glitch when processing visual details, according to Dr. Jamie Feusner.


Check out the journal Archives of General Psychiatry to see details of  body dysmorphic disorder … which shows distorted self-images thatdistorted%20self%20image.jpg create obsessive concerns about imagined flaws in appearance.

It’s estimated that 1 to 2 percent of people suffer from this disorder … also known as BDD. Can you see  repeated cosmetic surgery … and the self-loathing that result?

Scientists suggest that causes likely come in people’s gene pool … or they can result from upbringing or social pressures. Either way … people who insist they’re ugly … often cannot be convinced otherwise.

In fact Feusner's team pointed out that many will attempt suicide … unaware that a biological abnormality could contributing to their distorted body images.

Newly developed brain scans show how people with BDD use their brain's left side more than the right side, which normally processes visuals. Who’s at risk?

BDD tends to run in families … show up in both men and women … and often appears in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder. A common outcome is that people cannot function well at work … constantly undergo cosmetic surgery … and leave procedures feeling even more hopeless. Have you seen people with this severe mental  condition?
