What Is Dysmorphia?
4. Reluctance To Get Help
People with dysmorphia will often be feeling extremely embarrassed about their appearance. This can make them reluctant to talk about their condition and reluctant even to be seen in public. This includes a reluctance to go and see a professional about their condition.
If the patient does not seek expert assistance then their condition is only likely to worsen. In some cases, it will worsen to the point where the patient’s very life is at risk. Thus, if you do know of somebody showing symptoms of the condition then you should do what you can to encourage them to get help.
