Understanding Body Dysmorphia.

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a mental health condition characterized by an obsessive focus on perceived flaws or defects in one’s appearance. These perceived flaws are often minor or nonexistent but cause significant distress and impact daily functioning. Individuals with BDD may spend excessive time worrying about their appearance, engaging in repetitive behaviors such as mirror checking, excessive grooming, or seeking reassurance from others.
