8. What Are the Psychological Effects of Body Dysmorphia?

Anxiety is almost always present when someone experiences body dysmorphia. This can manifest as a general anxiety disorder or social anxiety. It is often characterized by panic attacks, particularly in situations in which the person feels unable to hide the perceived flaw from others.

The self-isolation often seen in depression or agoraphobia tends to mirror that of body dysmorphia. It is not uncommon to see co-occurrence between these disorders.
