Dysmorphophobia - Body Dysmorphic Disorder and Suicide Risks

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), also called dysmorphophobia, is a mental health problem related to body image, in which the affected individual is preoccupied with minor slight defects or imaginary physical flaws of the skin (wrinkles, scars, acne), face and other specific body parts (breasts, muscles, body odors, buttocks). A new US study reveals a correlation between excessive dieting and suicide attempts in people affected by body dysmorphic disorder.
