BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW

Abstract

Body dysmorphic disorder is psychiatric morbidity that comes under the spectrum of obsessive-compulsive disorders. Individuals suffering from body dys- morphic disorder are incredibly concerned about their minor or so-called defects to such an extent that their lives may be affected drastically. As a result of continuously thinking about the asserted defect, the individuals end up suffering from major depression, anxiety, and self-harm. Diagnosis of body dysmorphic disorder is based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition criteria. The management of body dysmorphic disorder consists of psychotherapeutic and pharmacological interventions. Body dysmorphic disorder is a hidden disorder and is often under-reported. It has been linked to muscle dysmorphia, substance abuse, and major depressive disorder. The lack of studies in different countries and populations has made this a topic that requires sub- stantial input from researchers.
