Body image

Funny/pathetic/sad things I learned today while researching for Dr. Hawks:

There's a test that measures body image dissatisfaction which is called the "Body Uneasiness Test" and in articles it's referred to as the BUT.

There's a disorder called "Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder" which basically is a clinical way of saying, "You have REALLY bad PMS problems." I think most women can relate at some time or another with those with this disorder.

There's an article called, "Plastic surgery addiction in patients with body dysmorphic disorder." Plastic surgery addiction?!! Well, folks, I think we're in the last days.
