Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a serious illness in which a person is excessively concerned with their appearance, or minor or imaginary physical flaws in the body. Most of us are concerned about our appearance at times or are dissatisfied with some aspect of our appearance, but these concerns rarely affect our daily lives, such as whether we go to work or school. People with BDD constantly check their appearance in the mirror, try to conceal their perceived flaws, or worry about it for at least an hour a day, and this worry interferes with their life in some way. Women with BDD may be concerned about any aspect of their body, such as acne or another skin problem, a scar, or the size and shape of their breasts.
