Body Dysmorphic Disorder and fatphobia are two concerns that are becoming increasingly conspicuous in today's generation. People tend to compare themselves to those on the internet and idealize other's bodies and try to look like them by engaging in a restrictive diet and overexercising. In India, particularly, people emphasize how much a person weighs and how well they look. Previous research has demonstrated that all social comparisons and diet culture have led to several mental health disorders like body dysmorphia, fatphobia, and eating disorders. This research proposal aims to conduct an empirical investigation on the causes of Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Fatphobia, and its effects on people's Mental Health in India.
