Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), also known as dysmorphophobia. Body means "external appearance", dysmorphia means "deformity or abnormality", and disorder means "medically significant disturbance". When these words come together we can say it is a mental health condition characterized by an obsessive focus on perceived flaws or defects in one's physical appearance, which are often minimal or even nonexistent. Individuals with BDD become preoccupied with these perceived flaws and may spend significant amounts of time and effort trying to hide, fix, or alter their appearance. The exact prevalence of BDD worldwide can be challenging to determine due to several factors, including underreporting, misdiagnosis, and cultural variations in symptom presentation. However, BDD is recognized as a relatively common mental health condition. The books provide a snapshot of BDD understanding, awareness, and recognition among pharmacy students at women's residential university.
