What Is Dysmorphia?
3. Symptoms
Symptoms of dysmorphia generally involve obsessions with anything about how the patient looks. Some might look in the mirror and think that they look ugly, and it can be extremely difficult for them to deal with. Patients with the condition will often spend an unusual amount of time in front of the mirror looking as a result.
The patient’s body size and dimensions are also a common concern. They might be concerned they are too fat, too skinny, too tall, or too short. They will often try and dress in a way that will help to hide these perceived flaws. It is not uncommon for patients with dysmorphia to get cosmetic surgery, and they will often not be happy with the results.
