depression and body image issues

Depression and body image issues refer to two separate but interconnected conditions. Depression is a mental health disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest or pleasure in activities. On the other hand, body image issues pertain to a person's perception, thoughts, and feelings concerning their physical appearance, often leading to dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, and excessive focus on perceived flaws. The presence of both conditions can influence each other, as negative body image can contribute to depression, while depression can worsen body image issues.
