They then go on to be full of self doubt and not be able to function on a realistic expected level in life.

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a distinct mental disorder in which a person is preoccupied with an imagined physical defect or a minor defect that others often cannot see. As a result, people with this disorder see themselves as "ugly" and often avoid social exposure or turn to plastic surgery to try to improve their appearance. BDD shares some features with eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder. BDD is similar to eating disorders in that both involve a concern with body image. BDD is a chronic (long-term) disorder that affects men and women equally. It usually begins during the teen years or early adulthood.

Body dysphoria is when a person feels as if their body doesn't fit their mind, or the gender their mind feels they are. An example of this would be if you feel like a man, but your body is the body of a woman. This is when someone would be transgender, to try to get their body to fit their mind. Another example of body dysphoria is when someone feels gender-neutral (otherwise known as non-binary) but they have the body of a man. They feel like they should have a gender-neutral body, but they are still stuck in the body of a man.

Body dysmorphia is when you see your physical body in your head as something completely different than what you see in the mirror. And it can be so amazingly hard to deal with. It can happen to anyone with absolutely any type of physical change that is made. I actually have body dysmorphia on quite a few days --it doesn't happen all the time for me thankfully. I lost over 120 lbs through diet and exercise, going from a size 28 to a size 10/12 depending on cut and make of the pants and a lot of times when I look in the mirror I still see the old me. And it's not really something that a general person can help you with because, obviously, they can't see the you that you see in your mind. It's scary and painful. The only way you can help yourself really is to look into the mirror and tell yourself you are not the "incorrect" image of yourself, the one full of faults and fears, that you see in your head.

Body dysmorphia is a fear that comes from an unreal vision of your own body and appearance, caused by an excessive concern for your image. It can be increased by the comparison with other people. The person affected takes others as an example to follow, even if it is an unreachable goal, because of the fact that everybody is different and has got unique features. Moreover, this condition is often not supported by real evidence, but who suffers from it cannot see the truth, like if he/she has got a default image of him/herself in the brain and if it is not treated properly, it can lead to death.

Body dysmorphia (BDD) a mental disordrer, where the person suffering see themselves as severly flawed, even when it isn't true. These flaws are only imagined or when the flaw is actually real, it is very exaggerated. The thought of this imagined/exaggerated flaw takes possesion of the victims mind, just like eg. depression does. It is often present by anorexia and bulimia. These people see themselves as fat, even after they are already badly underweight. There is a opposite disorder to anorexia, where the victim percieves their body as too small. The victiim of BDD often compares their flaw and avoids showing it (for example, anorexics can wear clothes that hide their body). BDD also hasy high rates of suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts. It affects men and women.

Body dysmorphia, in short, is when somebody sees their body differently from how other people see their body. Somebody with body dysmorphia may see themselves as much heavier than other people see them, like I have, or they may see themselves at much lighter than other people see them. For example, somebody who has body dysmorphia may think their thighs are much too big while others mat not think that at all. On the other hand, somebody that has body dysmorphia may feel that their wrists and arms are much skinnier than they actually are. This can lead to poor body image or even eating disorders.
