9. Is There a Link Between Body Dysmorphia and Suicide?

People with body dysmorphia may go to great lengths to change their appearance and get rid of the perceived problem. They may seek surgery or other aggressive treatments. Some even engage in self-harm, attempting to actually cut away the offending issue.

When nothing else works, suicide may start to seem like a viable option. For many, body dysmorphia consumes their thoughts and overwhelms their lives. Their doctors must always be on the lookout for the progression to suicidal ideation when their patients grow hopeless about possible solutions.
