Body Dysmorphic Disorder

Body Dysmorphic Disorder

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a psychiatric condition defined in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition Text Revision (DSM-5-TR) as a preoccupation with a perceived defect or flaw in one’s physical appearance when, in fact, they appear normal. Often underrecognized, BDD is a prevalent psychiatric condition characterized by an all-consuming focus on perceived physical imperfections, leading to distressing repetitive actions and, at times, suicidal behavior and ideation. Individuals with BDD often seek unnecessary surgical interventions. This topic offers guidance on recognizing common BDD indicators, implementing effective screening tools, and utilizing evidence-based approaches for evaluation and treatment. This topic also addresses the importance of interprofessional recognition of symptoms and collaboration in delivering optimal patient care.
