Body dysmorphic disorder
I was watching a documentary about Body dysmorphic disorder or BDD, a mental disorder where the person is constantly displeased about the way they look. It is imagined ugliness where nothing is right about the way they look. DO you know anyone with Body dysmorphic disorder? Is Body dysmorphic disorder inherited or a case of some sort of abuse or self inflicted abuse?
