Imagined ugliness: a symptom which can become a disorder

Concern regarding physical appearance is normal, but can sometimes reach an intensity which renders it a “disorder” (body dysmorphic disorder, or BDD). The rate of BDD in the general population is not clear, but sufferers are over‐represented in psychiatric populations and in those seeking cosmetic surgery. BDD shows extensive psychiatric comorbidity, including depression, social phobia, and obsessiv ompulsive disorder. BDD is treatable, with serotonergic antidepressants (eg, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) and cognitive behavioural treatments being the most effective.
