    Glossary Body Image

    perception of one's physical appearance and attractiveness

    Body image refers to a person's perceptions, thoughts, and feelings about their physical appearance. It encompasses how individuals see their own bodies, whether accurately or distorted, and how they believe others perceive them. This concept is crucial in understanding self-esteem and mental health, as a negative body image can lead to issues like eating disorders, depression, and anxiety.
