  • What Is Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)? • Thinking Too Much About an Imagined Or Slight Flaw in a Person’S Own Looks
    What is Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)? • Thinking too much about an imagined or slight flaw in a person’s own looks. (APA, 2000). If there is a slight flaw, the person’s concern is extreme. • These unhappy feelings are consuming. These feelings cause harmful beliefs and attitudes that affect thoughts, emotions and behaviors. These can then harm all areas of a person’s life, such as their social activities and job. • No other mental disorder, for example eating disorders, cause these consuming feelings. What are the common signs and symptoms of BDD? • Fixation and thoughts about appearance • Mirror checking-Spending too much time staring in a mirror/shiny surface at the real or imagined flaw • Avoidance of mirrors/shiny surfaces • Their belief is very strong even if evidence does not support it (this is also called Overvalued Ideation or OVI) • Covering up the “afflicted area.” (e.g. hats, scarves, make-up) • Repeatedly asking others to tell them that they look okay (also referred to as ‘reassurance seeking’). • Frequent unnecessary appointments with medical professionals/surgeons • Repeated unnecessary plastic surgery • Compulsive skin picking. Often, nails and tweezers are used to remove blemishes/hair. • Avoiding social situations, public places, work, school, etc... • Leaving the house less often or only going out at night to prevent others from seeing the “flaw”. • Keeping the obsessions and compulsions secret due to feelings of shame. • Emotional problems, such as feelings of disgust, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, etc. How do you tell the difference between being unhappy with a part of your appearance and BDD? Many people are unhappy with some part of the way they look, however, this is on a continuum.

Aronowitz, Ph.D. © CopyrightPatients with body dysmorphic2000 Physiciansdisorder (BDD) have anPostgraduate obsessive preoccupation Press,with an imagined Inc. defect in appearance or, if a slight physical abnormality exists, a grossly excessive concern with it. This preoccupation causes significant distress or impairment of social, occupational, or other functioning. So- cial anxiety is a prominent component of BDD, and social avoidance resulting from BDD symptoms may markedly impair social functioning. In severe cases, avoidance of social situations in combination with occupational and academic impairment may result in patients becoming housebound. The prevalence of BDD is 1% to 2% in the U.S. population and 11% to 12% in patients with social anxiety disorder. Behav- iors associated with BDD include mirror checking, physician visits, hair grooming, use of cosmetics, and social avoidance. Distress over BDD may lead patients to undergo repeated cosmetic surgeries in futile at- tempts to conceal or correct perceived defects. Additionally, depression and suicide are frequent complica- tions of BDD. Pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments for the management of BDD with coexist- ing social anxiety are presented in this article.

  • Occupational Functioning and Impairment in Adults with Body Dysmorphic Disorder ⁎ Elizabeth R
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Comprehensive Psychiatry 49 (2008) 561–569 www.elsevier.com/locate/comppsych Occupational functioning and impairment in adults with body dysmorphic disorder ⁎ Elizabeth R. Didiea,b, , William Menarda, Adam P. Sternc, Katharine A. Phillipsa,b aButler Hospital, Providence, RI 02906, USA bDepartment of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, USA cBrown University, Providence, RI 02912, USA Abstract Objective: Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is relatively common and appears to be associated with marked impairment in psychosocial functioning. Previous reports, however, did not investigate occupational functioning in detail, assess impairment specifically in occupational functioning using standardized measures in a nontreatment seeking sample, or examine correlates of occupational impairment. Methods: Occupational functioning and other clinical variables were assessed in 141 adults with BDD. Measures included the Range of Impaired Functioning Tool and other reliable and valid self-report and interviewer-administered measures. Results: Fewer than half of subjects were working full-time, and 22.7% were receiving disability pay. Thirty-nine percent of the sample reported not working in the past month because of psychopathology. Of those subjects who worked in the past month, 79.7% reported impairment in work functioning because of psychopathology. Adults with BDD who were not working because of psychopathology were comparable to subjects who

  • Psychosis in Body Dysmorphic Disorder
    Journal of Psychiatric Research 38 (2004) 63–72 www.elsevier.com/locate/jpsychires Psychosis in body dysmorphic disorder Katharine A. Phillips* Butler Hospital and The Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Brown Medical School, 345 Blackstone Boulevard, Providence, RI 02906, USA Received 2 August 2002; received in revised form 3 December 2002; accepted 10 December 2002 Abstract Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) has both psychotic and nonpsychotic variants, which are classified as separate disorders in DSM-IV (delusional disorder and a somatoform disorder). Despite their separate classification, available evidence indicates that BDD’s delusional and nondelusional forms have many similarities (although the delusional variant appears more severe), suggest- ing that they may actually be the same disorder, characterized by a spectrum of insight. And contrary to what might be expected, BDD’s delusional form, although classified as a psychotic disorder, appears to respond to serotonin-reuptake inhibitors alone. These and other data suggest that a dimensional view of psychosis (in particular, delusions) in these disorders may be more accurate than DSM’s current categorical view. A dimensional model might also facilitate more consistent and accurate classification of other disorders that are likely characterized by a spectrum of insight, such as obsessive compulsive disorder, hypochondriasis, and anor- exia nervosa. Further research is needed to better understand these classification issues, which likely have treatment implications. # 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
