What are the negative effects of body image?

No doubt that negative body image has a bad effect and it can take a toll on our mental health, relationship and our overall well-being. I think it's an important topic that we need to discuss and I would like to know more on the effects of negative body image, especially on plus size people.

Having negative body image can cause anxiety, depression, and lower your self-esteem particularly in plus size individuals. It can create an unpleasant tension and develop unhealthy behaviors like engaging in severe dieting.

Body image is known to depreciate the mental state resulting in stress or eating disorders, especially on plus-sized people. It is also known to destroy social relationships and confidence generally.
