What Is Body Dysmorphic Disorder?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
2. Causes
Body dysmorphic disorder is a condition that we know very little about. We don’t know the reasons why the condition happens, but we do know it is linked to a number of different factors. More research needs to be done to help us better understand the condition, and perhaps even to help us treat or cure it.
One factor that makes somebody more likely to develop the condition is a history of it in the family. It might also be caused by extremely traumatic experiences in relation to their physical appearance. Some studies have suggested that the condition could also be down to certain brain abnormalities.
