Body DysmorphiaBody dysmorphia is mental illness involving obsessive focus on a perceived flaw in appearance. The flaw may be minor or imagined but the person may spend hours a day trying to fix it. The person may try many cosmetic procedures or exercise to excess. People with this disorder may frequently examine their appearance in a mirror, constantly compare their appearance with that of others, and avoid social situations or photos. We can help counsel people who are suffering from body dysmorphia so they can improve the quality of their life.
