Does a negative body image make you feel depressed?
If so, then you shouldn’t feel alone. It has been shown that a negative self-image is one of the key factors leading to depression and suicide among women. In fact, studies such as this one from the BMC Journal of Psychiatry (December 2006), show that improving “self and body-image” is one of the most effective methods of treatment for patients who have attempted suicide due to depression. Within the body of research available on this topic, mental health professionals state that improving self and body image is as effective, if not more so, than any other treatment available.
Despite a lot of the negative heat from the popular press that breast augmentation surgery has received in the past decade, current research consistently reveals more reasons why breast augmentation surgery might be a smart choice for many women—particularly women who are suffering from a negative body-image. Statistics prove time and time again that breast augmentation surgery can be a positive aspect in a woman’s professional, relational, and emotional choices.
Now, with focus being made on the connections between self-image and depression, it seems that breast augmentation surgery could end up being an actual cure for a problem that has plagued thousands of women for quite some time in our country.
