Do you hate your body?
Body dysmorphic disorder is a common mental illness that leads people to become obsessed with parts of their bodies and how they look in public.
The facial features — such as the size and shape of the nose, mouth or ears, or the skin or complexion — are the most common cause of anxiety for people with body dysmorphic disorder.
But anybody part — including the elbows, nipples, fingers, buttocks, or hair — can become the focus.

When you have body dysmorphic disorder, you feel a part of your body is too peculiar or deformed. You end up feeling ashamed, distressed, or depressed.
These awkward feelings may affect your well-being and prevent you from living everyday life.
Do you have body dysmorphic disorder?
Do you vigorously grow a thick bear or wear a lot of make-up as cover, spend a great deal of time grooming? Comparing yourself to others all the time, obsessively checking your looks in mirrors, or avoiding them at all?
Do you think you have a physical defect that makes you ugly or undergo several cosmetic surgeries?
Chances are, you may be suffering from a body dysmorphic disorder.
Compulsively picking at your skin and touching parts of your body you dislike inflicting self-harm are red signs.
