4. What Is the Relationship Between Body Dysmorphia and Eating Disorders?

Eating disorders and body dysmorphia share some common symptoms. Both are characterized by intense dissatisfaction with body image. People who experience eating disorders also exhibit the same obsessive need to change or control the way their bodies look.

Although it is likely present, body dysmorphia is often not diagnosed in people with eating disorders. Certain goals, such as getting necessary nutrition, are prioritized more heavily in the treatment of anorexia or bulimia.
