We all have an occasional bad body image day, but Sarah Michell Gellar opened up recently, and bravely, to share a disorder that she suffers from...
She's beautiful, successful, happily married, but 34-year-old Sarah Michelle Gellar told the October issue of Health that she suffers from body dysmorphic disorder.
"I totally have body dysmorphic disorder," she said. "I think most women do. I just have to remember that I'm human, and I'm a mom. Being a parent changes the vanity at least a little bit."
Body dysmorphic disorder is a condition where a person becomes obsessed with a personal bodily flaw (real or imagined). It can be mild, or downright debilitating, say experts.
I admire Sarah Michelle Gellar for admitting her struggles so publicly, but I don't know if I'd agree that most women suffer from this condition.
