Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a mental health condition characterized by an obsessive preoccupation with perceived flaws or defects in one’s appearance. Individuals with BDD often focus intensely on certain body parts, believing them to be abnormal or unattractive, even when there is little or no actual physical imperfection.

People with BDD may engage in repetitive behaviors such as excessive grooming, checking mirrors, seeking reassurance, or undergoing cosmetic procedures in an attempt to alleviate their perceived flaws. However, these behaviors typically provide only temporary relief and can exacerbate feelings of anxiety and dissatisfaction with one’s appearance. BDD can significantly impact a person’s quality of life and often requires professional treatment, such as therapy and medication, to manage symptoms effectively.
