Body image significantly impacts mental wellness, as positive perception of oneself can lead to higher self-esteem and confidence. Conversely, negative body image often correlates with issues such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders, as individuals may struggle with unrealistic beauty standards or societal pressures. Addressing body image concerns through education, support, and self-acceptance practices can enhance mental health. Cultivating a positive body image is essential for promoting overall emotional well-being and resilience against societal pressures related to appearance.
