A member asked:
What is disassociation dysmorphia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complex issues: Dissociative dysmorphia is when a person has a psychological disconnect to the body, usually due to trauma, and is often commonly found in women with eating disorders. For example, they may feel obese and disconnected to their bodies and sexuality when they are victims of abuse. This is more complex than this forum allows. Seek the help of a psychologist or psychiatrist in this case.
