Body Dysmorphic Disorder
Body dysmorphic disorder is a dangerous mental condition where a person becomes consumed by thoughts relating to perceived physical defects that are highly exaggerated or even imaginary. People with BDD are constantly looking in a mirror and are distressed about the way the part of their body looks, and try to find ways to hide this supposed “defect”. They refuse to be photographed because they fear that other people will judge how they look, and try to take excessive care of their looks to contain their anxiety. The have problems in their romantic lives often because of this flaw, and suffer from extremely low self esteem. This anxiety about the way they look is enough to disrupt their normal, every day functioning and takes over their entire life.
- well to be honest I have this all the time. I suffer to much overthinking about my flaws like blemishes on the skin like (chicken skin, dark bikini area and eczema etc). I hope I can overcome this thing... Still on process.
