BDD: Body dysmorphic disorder is a mental health condition in which a person obsesses over what they perceive to be a bodily flaw. The flaw may be real but minor or just imagined. It causes the person distress. Do you obsess over something about your body that you don't like. Do you continue to find fault with that aspect of your body even if there is objective evidence that it is normal?
