Tanorexia, in extreme instances, can be seen as an indication of body dysmorphic disorder. If someone came in with that particular disorder or syndrome, as we're calling it now, I'd be quite interested to see how they felt, because I'm sure- now I've looked into it more- that the similarities are remarkable.
Ever thought sunbeds could be addictive? In this episode of 'Sideways', hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst dive into the surprising world of lesser-known addictions. While Martin's 'research' on daytime TV might sound like a laugh, it leads to some eye-opening discoveries about the dangers of sunbeds and a condition called tanorexia. It's not just about getting a golden glow; for some, it's a compulsive need that mirrors body dysmorphic disorder.
The hosts chat about how these behaviors can be just as damaging as more commonly recognized addictions and highlight the crucial role of emotional balance in recovery. They also share insights on how support groups and resources can offer a lifeline. This episode is a must-listen if you're curious about the hidden corners of addiction or want to reflect on your own habits.
