BDD: In body dysmorphic disorder, u would be overly concerned with body image & become preoccupied with a perceived defect of your physical features. This causes distress or impairs your social functioning. This causes u to become isolative, anxious & depressed.

CBT: Body dysmorphic disorder is a mental health disorder in which one becomes extremely focused on perceived body/ facial defects that don't actually exist. It can damage self esteem & quality of life. Psychological evaluation can determine if you have this condition. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a good choice for tx.
