Body Dysmorphic Disorder - DSM-5 Criteria

Disorder Class : Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders

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 clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other areas of functioning.

The appearance preoccupation is not better explained by concerns with body fat or weight in an individual whose symptoms meet diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder.
