Body Dysmorphic Disorder

 


If you don't like your nose, 
You want to undergo plastic surgery again and again, 
If you are not comfortable with your body ,
You may be suffering from Body Dysmorphic Disorder. 

Here are the symptoms of Body Dysmorphic Disorder:

Preoccupation with an imagined defect in appearance. If a slight physical anomany is present, the person’s concern is markedly excessive.


The preoccupation causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

The preoccupation is not better accounted for by another mental disorder (eg., dissatisfaction with body shape and size in anorexia nnervosa).


(Ref. By Diagnostic And Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition)
