Bigger Breasts and Suicide
by Dorothy Rowe, October 20, 2006

People seem puzzled by suicide in women with breast implants, but I wouldn’t be surprised if BDD [Body
Dysmorphic Disorder] was behind it,’ says Katherine Phillips, a psychiatrist at Brown Medical School,
Providence, Rhode Island. New Scientist, October 21, 2006 ...New Scientist didn’t contact me. Had this
happened, I would have said that it was really very simple. Just ask each woman what she hoped the breast
implant would do for her, and take what she says seriously, not merely as evidence for or against an
abstraction like BDD which resides nowhere but in the mind of a psychiatrist or psychologist who believes that
such a disorder exists.
