Explain Body dysmorphic disorder.
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a mental health condition characterized by an obsessive focus on perceived flaws or defects in physical appearance, often minor or nonexistent. Individuals with BDD experience distress and impairment in daily functioning due to their preoccupation with perceived flaws. They may engage in compulsive behaviors like excessive grooming or seeking reassurance. BDD can lead to social withdrawal, depression, and, in severe cases, self-harm. Treatment typically involves cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and medications to alleviate symptoms and address distorted body image perceptions.
