Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Body dysmorphic disorder is a mental health condition characterized by excessive concern and anxiety about perceived or minor flaws in appearance, body shape, or body composition. This preoccupation with one's appearance can cause significant distress, interfere with daily activities, and lead to social isolation, anxiety, and depression. The individual may spend hours a day checking, grooming, or hiding the perceived flaws, and may seek multiple cosmetic procedures to try to correct the flaws. It can affect both men and women, and may co-occur with eating disorders, anxiety disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder.
