Perfectionism might seem like a minor hurdle to overcome – or
even a welcome personality trait. But perfectionism is different
from simply striving for excellence and perfectionistic people are
at higher risk for anxiety, depression and other mental health
disorders. Perfectionism researcher Gordon Flett, PhD, and clinical
psychologist Bonnie Zucker, PsyD, discuss where perfectionism comes
from, why it’s an increasing problem, how it affects people’s
mental and physical health and how to treat it.
