Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) has been associated with abnormalities in the structure and function of the fronto-striatal circuits, which are also implicated in the neurobiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This suggests that there may be some overlap in the neurobiological mechanisms involved in the two disorders. However, there is limited evidence for a similar association between OCD and the other disorders listed (hysteria, dissociative identity disorder, and conversion disorder).
