What is "body dysmorphic disorder"?

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a mental health condition characterized by obsessive concern with flaws in physical appearance, which are often minor or imagined. Individuals with BDD may spend excessive amounts of time closely inspecting their appearance, comparing themselves to others, and seeking reassurance about their imagined flaws. This concern causes significant distress and can lead to avoidance of social situations, depression, and reduced functioning in daily life. Treatment for body dysmorphic disorder typically involves therapy to help individuals challenge and change false beliefs about their appearance, as well as medication in some cases.
