Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This handout defines Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) as a condition characterized by intense preoccupation with perceived physical flaws that are often unnoticeable to others. It outlines common areas of concern, such as skin or hair, and notes the associated distress, potential comorbidities like depression, and demographic prevalence. The resource also distinguishes BDD from general body image dissatisfaction and eating disorders, providing self-reflection questions for clients to identify if their concerns may warrant professional evaluation.
