Since depression rates are rapidly increasing and leading to dangerous outcomes like suicide or eating disorders, research and assistance are needed to address the psychological distress caused by our culture that leads to such high depression rates in women. The purpose of this paper is to review evidence that supports the hypothesis that self-objectification plays a major role in the increasing rates of depression for women.

Throughout modern history, the unrealistic standard for the female body has been nearly impossible to obtain.

Eating disorders are one way for women to achieve such standards and they have been on the rise. It is not surprising given the value which society places on being thin.
One out of twenty Americans suffers from a clinical body image disturbance such as an eating disorder or body dysmorphic disorder. The questions deepen beyond the magazine images and television causing these issues: what are other factors contributing to wanting the media’s ideal body image. We are all exposed to these images of the ideal body image, but some people are more likely to be affected. According to research, indicators of various biological and environmental factors come together to create the problem with body image. Recent research shows a deficit in this internal sense along with exposure to media images playing a leading role in the development of anorexia, bulimia and body dysmorphic
