Body Dysmorphic Disorder, a mental health condition involving obsessive focus on perceived flaws in physical appearance.
Modern clinical acronym from the full term Body Dysmorphic Disorder, with 'dysmorphic' from Greek dys- (bad) and morphe (form). The condition was first formally described in psychiatric literature in the late 19th century.
BDD affects about 2% of the population and often focuses on areas like skin, hair, or nose - sufferers may spend hours daily checking mirrors or avoiding them entirely, sometimes seeking multiple cosmetic procedures.
