BDD, Psychosocial impact, Mental health, Body imageAbstract
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is characterized by an intense and debilitating fixation on imagined or minor physical flaws. Despite the prevalence of BDD in society, there is a paucity of evidence regarding its impact on medical students in literature. To bridge this gap, this article seeks to present an overview of the current research on BDD and its prevalence among medical students in Pakistan. Additionally, the article will explore various treatment approaches that have shown effectiveness in managing BDD, with a particular focus on cognitive-behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy.
