Body dysmorphic disorder is a psychological condition that is characterized by an individual being persecuted with perceived defects in physical appearance that are not seen by others. They strongly believe they look ugly and disregard when they are given a compliment for their looks. The flaws they notice in themselves with their body or appearance are usually not noticed by others. They repetitively think about how they look and compare their appearance with others and engage in repetitive behaviors such as checking the mirrors, constantly grooming, or seeking assurance about their looks. It is quite normal for people to think about how they look and how to beautify their appearance. However, it becomes abnormal when the person is preoccupied with their appearance concerns, which are unwanted, intrusive, and time-consuming. All these cause significant distress in their daily functioning in all aspects of their lives. People with BDD may socially withdraw themselves. They may even seek cosmetic treatments or body-altering surgeries.\u00a0Their self-esteem is associated with their appearance which can result in self harming behaviour or suicidal.<\/p>\n

They are obsessed with one or more body parts or how they should look. Some of the common focus is on lips, nose, chest, chin\/jawline, legs, and eyes. They are constantly obsessed with their body shape, size, and colour. The common compulsion are constantly checking the mirror, seeking cosmetic treatments, surgery, excessive grooming, reassurance seeking, avoiding social meetings, and touching their perceived flaw. There is no pleasure aspect involved in fulfilling their what they desire to do to their body it only declines their distress.<\/p>\n
