3. What Is the Difference Between Dissatisfaction and Dysmorphia?

It’s unusual to meet someone who is completely at peace with how his or her body looks. Many people can think of at least one way they’d like to improve their appearance. They may even take action, such as changing their diet or exercise regimen, to address problem areas.
