Abstract: (1866 Views)
According to the Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is classified as obsessive-compulsive and related disorders. The predominant feature of this relatively common disorder is a sense of deficiency in body Image and body shame causing compulsory behaviors to fix the deficits or flaws in physical appearance. This review paper first presents the definition and concept of BDD. epidemiology, etiology, comorbidity, theories, and therapeutic approaches to this disorder are also reviewed. Next, common medication treatments and cognitive-behavioral interventions for treating BDD are discussed. Ultimately, paradoxical psychotherapy is presented as a novel psychotherapy model for treating BDD.
