Embracing the Mind

TW: This episode contains discussion of content that may be upsetting to some listeners, including depression, anxiety and eating disorders.

Welcome to the final episode of season 1 of Embracing the Mind.

Today, we explore the impact body dysmorphic disorder, or BDD, can have on a person's life.

Our first guest is Stacey Anderson, who bravely shares her own experiences with BDD and the measures she has put in place to look after her mental health and wellbeing.

Next, Alix is joined by Dr Amy Malcolm from Swinburne University. Amy tells us about the prevalence of BDD in the social media generation, and shares how far research has come and still has to go.

This may be our final episode of series 1, but we are excited to share a bonus episode or two while we work on season 2.

If this episode has caused you distress, please reach out to a loved one or call Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Embrace is supported by its principal partner, Rio Tinto.
