About this episode

When we hear the term dysmorphia, most of us think about body image, the gap between what we see in the mirror and reality. We’ve talked about Snapchat dysmorphia and body dysmorphia on Do You Really Know in the past. But the concept actually goes beyond physical appearance. Just as our brains can distort how we see our reflection, they can also skew our perception of money. This phenomenon is called financial dysmorphia. What’s that?
