A physical disability, such as blindness, deafness, or paraplegia, can interfere with

Ideal, Perceived, and Actual Body Image: People with the eating disorder anorexia
nervosa see themselves as fat even when their mirror reflects (and other people
see) a normal or even an underweight body. The closer the match between a
person's ideal body image and sensory input about his or her body (perceived
body image), the more positive the person's body image is likely to be.
In contrast, when changes in appearance or functioning occur abruptly (e.g.,
following an acute illness or an accident), they are much more diflcult to accept.
Denial, anger, self-hatred, and despair are a few of many reactions that can follow
such an abrupt change in body image.
