Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a mental health condition characterized by obsessive preoccupation with perceived flaws or defects in physical appearance. These concerns can lead to significant distress and impair daily functioning. Understanding the impact of distorted body image is crucial for effective intervention.

Symptoms Included:

• Obsessive focus on perceived flaws
• Engaging in repetitive behaviors (checking, grooming)
• Avoidance of social situations
• Comparing oneself to others excessively
• Seeking reassurance about appearance
• Impaired ability to function due to appearance concerns

Treatment for BDD often involves cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), medication, and support groups. A compassionate and individualized approach is essential in addressing the underlying causes of distorted body image.
