7. Body Parts
Body dysmorphic disorder can cause people to focus on particular body parts. It might only be one part or it can be more. The patient’s focus is also likely to switch from one body part to another at times. There are some aspects of their body that tend to be focused on more than others. Facial features are one of the most fretted over bodily features.
Nose size and wrinkles can be a problem for some, whereas acne can also be distressing for a lot of people. Many will also worry about their hair and their skin. Body size can be another problem, and many can be concerned about their muscle size. People can also get anxious over their genitalia, and some women about their breasts.
