Body image, body obsession and mental health
Approximately one million people in Australia are affected by eating disorders and 63% of Australians are overweight or obese.
Have we now developed an obsession with body image because of a fear of obesity?
According to Christine Morgan, CEO of the Butterfly Foundation who appeared on Hack Live on Body Obsession on ABC2 last night, less than 25% of those suffering are seeking treatment for their eating disorders.
