Dear Social Media | Influencer Culture & The Rise Of Eating Disorders

Body related disorders such as anorexia, bulimia nervosa, body dysmorphic disorder and binge eating disorder to name a few, have been becoming increasingly common over the past ten years. With the help of researcher and clinical psychologist Dr. Deborah Mitchison and influencer Michelle Crossan, this short documentary explores the correlation between the rise in social media/influencer culture and the increasing amount of people suffering with these disorders.
Created by beauty influencer and recovered bulimic Stephanie Bailey, we take a look into her own battles with body image and ask the question: is social media to blame? And if so, what needs to be done to reverse the damage?
