About 1 in 50 Americans suffer from body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), which makes people overly critical of some element of their appearance, such as their skin, hair, face, teeth, or some other aspect of their body. They see a defect where there is none, and they compulsively spend a lot of time — and sometimes money — on “fixing” it.
But people who don’t suffer from BDD often struggle with their physical appearance, too. If you're struggling with body image, you are not alone. There are resources available to help you feel better.
