A member asked:
Is it possible to have body dysmorphic disorder and also be obese?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: Body dysmorphic disorder refers to someone who is overly preoccupied with a particular part of their body and believes it is much uglier or misshapen than objectively is the case. That can occur at any weight. What can be difficult is distinguishing between distorted body image and distress with accurate body image.
