People with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) have a distorted view of how they look and to spend a lot of time worrying about their appearance. An obsessive preoccupation that some aspect of one's own appearance is so severely flawed that it courses exceptional measures to hide or fix it. The main symptoms of Body Dysmorphic Disorder are obsessive comparison of the patients’ looks to other people appearance, spending a long time in front of a mirror (or avoidance of mirrors altogether), desperate tries to conceal what they believe is a defect, and seeking medical treatment (like plastic surgery) for the perceived defect. BDD is a part of anxiety disorders’ spectrum.
Items of the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Test covers the main symptoms of BDD. However, this self-reported assessment tool is only for initial evaluation and not designed to make a diagnosis.
