Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a mental health condition related to how the sufferer perceives their appearance, often involving a distorted perception of a flaw.
BDD is not vanity; it is a distressing obsession with perceived physical flaws that disrupts daily functioning.
Symptoms include heart palpitations, shortness of breath, excessive mirror checking, and avoiding social situations.
Causes include biological factors such as genetics and serotonin imbalance, as well as psychological factors including history of depression or abuse.
