Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a mental health disorder characterized by obsessive thoughts about perceived flaws in one's appearance. These perceived flaws are often minor or not noticeable to others, but the individual with BDD experiences extreme anxiety and distress as a result. Somatization and psychosomatic disorders involve physical symptoms that are linked to psychological factors, while conversion disorder involves experiencing physical symptoms that have no apparent medical cause.
