What is Body Dysmorphia?

Body dysmorphia, or Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), is a mental health condition characterized by obsessive focus on perceived flaws or defects in physical appearance. Individuals with BDD may engage in repetitive behaviors or mental acts in response to these perceived flaws, leading to significant distress and impairment in daily functioning. It's important to seek professional help for diagnosis and treatment.

While there isn't a direct comorbidity between body dysmorphia and ADHD, individuals with ADHD may be at a higher risk of experiencing other mental health conditions. It's crucial to consult with healthcare professionals for a thorough assessment and personalized guidance based on individual circumstances.
