Mental Health and Body Image
As Mental Health Awareness week begins focussing on the theme of body image, we explore how we think and feel about our bodies and whether religious faith can influence attitudes.
Most young people are unhappy with how they look at some stage of growing up, but it’s reckoned that a third of adults are so stressed by their body image and appearance that they feel unable to cope.
Meanwhile, the number of people living with obesity has trebled worldwide in the past 30 years, and fresh studies regularly underline the significant risk it carries of disease and early death. On the eve of Mental Health Awareness Week, which this year is taking the theme of body image, Roy Jenkins and guests explore this concern, and also ask in what way religious faith can influence how we think and feel about our bodies as part of our wider mental health.
