Summary:

Ms. Bardin hides one side of her face under her long hair, keeping her left ear hidden. It is painful for her to show her left ear to other people, convinced it is deformed despite doctors telling her that it is perfectly normal in shape, size, and general appearance. She constantly thinks about her ear and how ugly it makes her look. For years has been planning to get surgery to make her left ear normal and symmetrical.This training title highlights the major symptoms of F45.22 Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Symptoms of Body Dysmorphic Disorder may include: preoccupation with one or more perceived defects or flaws in physical appearance that are not observable or appear slight to others. At some point during the course of the disorder, the individual has performed repetitive behaviors (e.g., mirror checking, excessive grooming, skin picking, reassurance seeking) or mental acts (e.g., comparing his or her appearance with that of others) in response to the appearance concerns. The preoccupation causes significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. The appearance preoccupation is not better explained by body fat or weight in an individual whose symptoms meet diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder.
