Body dysmorphic disorder: Diagnostic challenges and current management
Overview
This paper discusses the diagnostic difficulties of body dysmorphic disorder, noting that concealment and symptom overlap with other conditions often lead to misdiagnosis. It highlights the importance of clinician awareness for early detection, particularly in adolescents who face higher risks of comorbidities. The resource outlines current management strategies, including cognitive behavioral therapy and serotonin reuptake inhibitors, while acknowledging the need for further research as many patients do not achieve full remission.
