Body Dysmorphia

Body Dysmorphia (or BDD, Body Dysmoprhic Disorder) is an anxiety disorder related to body image, often characterized by obsessive and disproportionate negative thoughts about one’s appearance and/or weight.

Individuals with BDD often develop a series of compulsive behaviors and routines (see also: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) in response to these constant thoughts/worries, which can further manifest themselves in the development of depression, anxiety, and eating disorders, etc.
